Is this procedure less invasive than the removal process? Hope so. Best wishes.

Gene was the kidney cancer discovered by something that changed with you or was it a blood test that gave you the first clue.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Yes it’s barely invasive compared to opening me up.

My doctor was pro-active and because I’ve had prostate cancer she guessed I might have other cancers. With kidney cancer it’s too late to do much if you wait till you have symptoms. Often you only live a month from when you get symptoms.

I have a 90% chance of living another ten years.
My Mother had a large tumor removed many years ago and the Doctor said he'd just given her ten more
years to live. My brother said that's she'd steal another ten, and she did indeed. Lived to 94.

Hang in there Gene.

My survival rate should be normal and chances are I’ll not have a reoccurring kidney growth. I have a 90% chance of living another ten years.

Thanks all. I’m hoping to live long enough to shoot all my ammo and then die the next day.

I usually keep a ten year supply on hand and replace ammo as I shoot.
