It’s been a minute since I have been in the #mastodon world.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 2 clear cell renal carcinoma. I’m 32 years old and soon to be 33. I was given the “go home and don’t come back convo” from my oncologist which is great.

My first scans on May 31st were clean, and my next ones are October 31st. Would love to connect with other #cancer folks here if there are any.

If this doesn’t apply to you, that’s fine, but boost if you can ❤️👏🏻❗️

@sidsadler That's a wonderful milestone to pass! Congratulations. I was diagnosed with stage 1 clear cell renal carcinoma 5 years ago, and, after a slice and dice of my kidney to get rid of it, just got my "we don't need to poke and prod you every six months anymore" certificate.

@box464 love to hear this! Yes I got “lucky” with mine. Being the size it was we assumed stage 3 or a higher grade or something…

I saw a kidney cancer specialist oncologist who is one of the top in the field and it was nice hearing from him “you can go home and forget about and just get scans”

@sidsadler It's a relief for sure - my brain and emotions about the situation still aren't quite balanced - my brain says "dude everything is fine" and my emotions say "stay freaked out about this!"
