May God be with you in this time of need.

Please try to eat well, avoid getting sick (flu, colds, sinus infections etc), and try to to keep your spirits from sinking too low. All of these things will help to position you better for whatever intervention is necessary and the requisite healing process afterwards.

Hoping for a full and fast recovery. God be with you and your family at this time.

Prayers for a full and quick recovery!

Oh, man. Hang in there, and don't make with the negative waves. Cancer in these days is more controllable/ curable than ever.

Sorry to hear the news.

News like that sends your entire world spinning out of control. We went through that when the Mrs. was given similar news

Whether or not you believe in a higher authority is your business but sometimes that belief alone is comforting.

Find that "place" where you find peace. Might physical, might be spiritual, might be mental place.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Best wishes.

That's rough news! Hang in there!

Prayers for you LBJ, we are all pulling for you!

Sorry to hear about this. Best wishes and have a speedy recovery.

You've been tolerating this well for 10 years? Think how much better you'll feel when they remove it!
You and yours are in my thoughts. My best wishes for the speediest of recoveries.

I wish you a speedy recovery, and cancer free future.

One of life's adjustments. You'll be rid of it soon. Best wishes and prayers for complete healing.

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family, stay positive
and kick some a**!

LBJ, I had a cancer scare in 2015, so I know a small portion of the feelings you might also have. My prayers are with you and your family.

Praying for you and the medical staff that will be overseeing your treatment. Prayers also for your family to give them all they need for support.

Hang in there!

lbj prayers nightly for you and your family

Sending thoughts and prayers your way.

I'm piling in to the prayer club for you, lbj.

Sorry to hear about the bad news. A lot of members here will be praying for you and for the best treatment. Be strong.

Thanks all for the well wishes and prayers. I do believe and while not a church goer, I do have my own relationship with Jesus and the Father. It's not like I left the church, more like it left me. But, as I say, I still have the relationship.

It may sound corny to some, or that I am suddenly religious, but that is not the case.
I believe and accept that Jesus died for my sins.

I am not sure how I am supposed to feel.
Maybe I am still in shock but I don't think so.

I must say I have had one heck of time with my life. Plus, I am 60.

These next CT scans of my brain and upper chest are going to tell the tale. If I can pass these without further things seen in them, I will be as happy as I can be under the circumstances.

What I don't need are further discoveries.

Along with the kidney with the orange size mass, there is the lung nodule to work through we already know is present.
Also, there is some slight swelling to some lymph nodes somewhere which is a concern.
That would be treated with immuno therapy if need be.

I really just need no more new discoveries, that is really key. I mean, if this darn thing has spread, things may get really bad.

I still cannot believe this mass on the kidney has been around for maybe ten years. They derived that figure based on average yearly growth rates.

I highly doubt I have brain cancer, so the worry for me is the upper chest, ie lung cancer.

And so begins the next chapter of my life, not what I wanted, not what I expected, but life goes how life goes.
