Diagnosed with it but was stage 1 clear cell renal carcinoma . I had surgery Nov 21 to remove my left kidney and ureter. No treatment necessary for mine right now other than rechecks with the Dr. I was told that kidney cancer does not respond to the regular chemotherapy or radiation. I have no idea what it does respond to as all of this is new to me.
I'm sorry that I can't be more help with information but just know the people here are a great.
