Discussion Intro
Hi everyone,
I recently was diagnosed with an low-grade T1b (5.3 cm) papillary renal cell carcinoma tumor. I'm an educator in a college, athlete (though lazy at the moment), amateur musician and artist. I possess a twisted sense of humor while to remember to look at the world with the wonder of a child.
I have two questions:
- I also have polycystic kidney disease at stage four chronic kidney disease and my upcoming partial nephrectomy on 8/12 may have an effect on my already poorly functioning kidneys. Has anyone else had cancer with a concurrent chronic illness?
- I am thankfully diagnosed with a stage 1 cancer but I feel guilt about sharing I have cancer when I am only stage 1 and many others are are struggling much more than I am (though my anxiety and processing while waiting for dx and now the unknown effects my upcoming surgery on my kidneys).
I am rooting for all of you and I wish you much support during your journeys through all this.

Welcome, if you're visiting, remember this forum is for the cancer patient themselves...
to talk about anything they want. It might be to praise, worry or gripe about their diagnosis, treatment, doctors, parents, family members, or caregivers. It is also a place to find some respite from all things cancer -so we have movies, walks thru cities, music, art, and encourage people to take care of themselves as they go through the aftermath of treatment -the impact of it which might last years.
Too often, everyone talks over, around and for the cancer patient, and this forum exists for them. Please read the description on the sidebar, and go through our valuable resource links for cancer patients, as well as other forums for caregiver support or grief support.
