Guest badbobs95 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'm really screwed now. I was diagnosed with Papillary 14 months ago. I asked my oncologist if the cancer was in the kidney that was partially removed 6 years ago that had a big tumor on the outside and he said yes. So I asked if they could remove the rest of the kidney and was told to try treatment instead. So, 14 months and 5 treatment plans later I go in yesterday and was told it has spread to the entire lining of the peritoneum, stomach, intestines and lymph nodes. I said I want to take the rest of the kidney out and try to treat the rest. He replied, it's too late for that now. No urologist is going to attempt that procedure! I've been getting a paracentesis every Friday for months and loosing 3 to 4 liters of blood every week. It's too late for me but I want everyone with RCC to know you have to follow your gut and don't just go by their suggestions. All the best to you. Thanks for all the great memories kids! God bless!

SRT8/ vette Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Bob all of that sucks! I for one am very glad that we ended up with vettes to get a chance to meet you & Wendy! You are both great people! And you know any one of us would do anything for you! So just name it.... what is one of your wishes? Could it possibly be hearing some of our Corvettes one last time??? ( I know you go (deaf ) when you hear mine! But I would fire her up and drive her over if you would like to lose your hearing one last time! Just let us know if that is on your wish list to see us drive by your house or another location. WE Love YOU!!! Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94transamgt Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Sorry to hear this Bob. I think I may have met you once, but most corvette people I meet know you, and everyone of them have nothing but great things to say about you. I could only hope to have such a positive impact on community, I wish you the best. Also I really hate seeing this kind of stuff happening to good people, seems like a lot of it lately.

Guest badbobs95 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I just want to thank you guys for your kind words, even if some were a tad bit exaggerated! Hahaha. I hope you can come to Monique and Lonnie's house on the 29th. I can't get out much but if I can walk, I'll be there for sure. They were kind enough to come over to our house Thursday and bring a dozen of the best doughnuts I've ever had. Yall take care and stay safe!
