I am diagnised with renal cell carcinoma. I am very much at peace with my decision to go the no treatment route, since I have been through this before - lost my left kidney to cancer too.
My family is very at peace also, as I am happy, and grateful for all the years I got to have after my first cancer.
I am 52 years old on March 24th , born in 1956. I am really glad to find this forum.

Hi Starlius, I'm so glad you found our little group huddled in corner.But please don't give up. I too wanted to just let nature take it's course and God have me since it seemed he's wanted me since I was born. I had fought my cancer once before but had been the least of my worries along with all the skeletons in my closet. I figured if God keeps going through all the trouble of aiming me into the people who'd cause me the most despair and all the physical and emotional sickness a normal human couldn't take, then maybe I'm not suppose to be here. But I fought , beat and survived the worst type of my cancer b/c I stopped thinking and reflecting on my past and looked into the future of my children and their father. my family needed me, in that moment I forgot my pain, my fear, everything .Now granted I did not do the chemo or radiation my doc suggested b/c it would have rendered me more worthless and for longer unable to take care of my kids. my doc said i had 1 yr left unless i atleast attempted my 3rd and last option , a very risky surgery. well i went under the knife on my birthday january of 2007 , i could have died on the table but i didn't and i've been in remission since then.
Starlius I'm only 26, I turn 27 January 16, 2008. I've survived, brain damage, being shot, stabbed, poisoned, raped numerous times by numerous men, molested from age 7 up to 15 , debilitating abuse for example my face rammed into my car window, cervical cancer twice, when I gave birth to my younger daughter she was stuck in the birth canal so the doc had to perform a 4 degree episiotomy ( a cut from my urinary tract to my rectum and same width across) I FELT IT ALL!!!! my body went into shock I was clinically dead for 5 minutes but dangit all my heart wanted to feel pain a bit longer.I felt each and every 200 stitch in and out in and out.But you know what hurt the most?The fact that my baby girl didn't come out crying , she wasn't breathing, she was a month early, the neonatal unit beat on her back for what seemed like an eternity I still to this day can hear the pounding on my baby girl's back in order to clear her airway and make her breathe. All I hear is the pounding and utter silence, the whole room is in slow motion all except the pounding; then the most beautiful sound I've ever heard,besides the cries of other children, I hear the scream. she turned 7 this month. I've been through so much more but as like others I'm sure this is enough for you to bare along with your own. you can talk to anytime you feel free. you're in my prayers and my heart, may God bless you and keep you and may you feel love these holidays. lots of love, Kat

Hello there,
Thank you so much for your wonderful message and support. I posted in the "other cancers" forum, some things about me.
I am very much at peace and joy. I chose the no treatment route for lots of reasons. I too have been through cancer before, had surgery, lost my left kidney, etc; went through years of misery.
Now I have cancer in my right kidney. But no , I am not giving up, I am at total peace and joy. I weighed all my options with my doctors and family. I feel this is the best route for me under my circumstances. And I am so filled with happiness every day, because God has been so good to me - I had extra years that were so wonderful. There is truly a joy and a lot that I can and still do for everyone I can. To make people happy and enjoy every moment. Thank you for responding to me. I am grateful to you. I pray for you also, and am so very inspired by your journey as well.

Starlius I'm glad you are at peace, that makes all the difference doesn't it? My babies are still so very small and still need to be raised, so I couldn't give up, I was as far from peace as we can get.I'm glad your family supports you and are at peace as well.No matter what I couldn't leave my babies this way, this soon.I wasn't suppose to have children to begin with so I want as much time with them as I can get.I know by a number i'm younger than you, but experience, wisdom, knowledge and maturity wise I have the same amount of rings as you; so if you ever need someone to talk to or you're having a rough day and need a strong shoulder I'll be here.My profile has all my contact info they'll allow.take care, Kat

Yes, family matters, so much. My children are grown and adults now. I and my wife were blessed and raised three children. And, I am a grandpa.
I was with younger children when my first cancer on my left kideny , and yes, it made a huge difference.
They are all raised now, and I enjoy and value life and every day as much as I have always. I hope to see every new day and life is a blessing to me .
I also see that God has reasons for this and I am at peace and I embrace the journey with love and confidence. I hope all goes well for you.

Thank you, most people go through their lives never knowing what their purpose here on earth is. Unfortunately for most we must face our own mortality in order to realize our importance here. I am so very happy you have reached that in your life and feel you are where you should be. I too have reached that marker in my life, and it took much less time than others, so I have much longer now to use the gifts our Heavenly Father blessed me with in a much more useful manner instead of wasting mine and others very valuable time.I love waking up to my babies fighting or just waking up to butterfly kisses from my little butterfly.I love the clean crisp weather in the morning and the sun and breeze lightly kissing my cheek .It's so amazing isn't it? Happy Holidays, Kat

Inica in special (since we're at her post thread ), and everybody sharing stories,
well what can I say more?
WOW!
people you're really inspiring... i feel like I'm a lazy pampered 29 y-old little girl...
Inica, I love your sense of humor! too bad you're in the other half of the hemisphere otherwise I would invite myself to come by your house this weekend.  I'm ready though to offer my services as babysitter and excellet cook! Have you ever tried a proper "feijoada" (blak beans stew)??? If I ever come to Australia, I'll let you know.
Take good care of yourself girl! You sound as stubborn as my grandma, that fell ill herself while taking care of my mum at the hospital this week!
May God be always in your hearts,
Lu

Arrr Bella' - you are too kind. Come any time. I have a Brother who lived in Brazil for a year or so. He has a great "family" there. He has now married a Dutch Girl- who has a brazillian browther in- law... Small world.
I'm a pampered 28 year old too.  Just got the scars to prove it
Everyone is an inspiration here, wether in contact them selves or a love one. We are a strong and inspirational family here- welcome.

ok- little update.
I've been down and out of sorts. Worried and tired my guess. I will make a Doctor app. in feb March to have this checked out properly.
Here I am giving advice, and telling others what i have advoided myself.
All the Doctor will do at this stage is do a Ultrasound of the uterus, and see if anything is abnormal there and overies etc. All smears and biopsy as come back normal- or inconclusive. So i better get it looked at more throughly.
time to suck it up and stop being a baby. or wuss
