    I had a CAT scan of a kidney 6 months ago and they found a lump that looked very suspicious. Now, 6 months later, they did another CAT scan to see if the lump showed any change. Talked to my primary care provider yesterday. He confirmed that I do have a cancerous tumor on my kidney but that is showed no growth in the last 6 months.

    This all means that it is a relatively benign form of cancer and will probably give me no problems for the rest of my life. They will continue to keep an eye on it for the continued future.

    Kind of a relief. I've been on pins and needles for the last 6 months.

    Good to hear Lanny. A healthy diet can really do a lot to further slow the growth of cancers also.

    No, neither kidney works worth a damn which is why I'm in dialysis.

    Awesome. Health problems are no fun. They are the price you pay for living though. May it be some time before you are forced to pay up again. :oldman:

    This is very good advice, and I suggest that you follow it assiduously, Lanny.

    I’m personally not sold on breathing Lanny. How often does he shower?
