What were the intial or some of the earliest symptoms experienced that prompted you to seek medical advice, which ultimately led to the diagnosis of renal cancer?

Remember, sharing and discussing with others can provide guidance for others, as well as a felling of support.

I started to experience pain in the side of my abdomen and pain with urine... that was the first signs I experienced. I went to the doctor thinking I had kidney stones because I am still pretty young. The doctor thought that was it was too when he sent me for examination. However, I am lucky that he also ordered blood test in addition to the initial x-ray. He then followed up with a referral when he did not think it was kidney stones because nothing showed in X-ray and the blood tests I guess showed something that he feared was not good... then and that is when my new doctor ordered more tests and I found out it was kidney cancer.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
