It turned out to be a Lymphoma that had set up shop on my Kidney, not a Kidney Cancer. The good news is that I presently treat it by taking one (very expensive) pill a day and the latest scan shows it's gone. I should mention that I have had Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia for about 15 years ago, which has been asymptomatic and untreated since then, and the Lymphoma is a new stage. The bad news is that while it is still, Cancer ,My Hematologist is confidant that this will be a long lasting emission, possibly a cure. The main side effect of the medication so far has been on my wallet.
          I was having severe back pain after a fall; that has resolved. I do have a lot of weakness in my legs that limits my abilities to climb stairs, hike, etc. Knee replacements are probably in the not to distant future, as my years of exercising has worn them into dust. I am contemplating retirement soon and selling our home and moving into a single level dwelling. All in all, I feel very lucky,
          especially when I gaze about the World and see so many others dying to satisfy the violent whims of others
          So pleased to read this Richard.

                Just a nod to an Absent Friend Richard, prompted by listening to a Dowland disc. . . and perhaps a soothing accompaniment to the messages of support for rfg.

                  The punning side of me found that Dowland piece so very sweet that I couldn't resist posting this link:

                    Just in case Padraig logs in again: I've PM'd him a message from Mr Tarleton
                    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                          Extraordinary how smittims has reappeared on this forum after such a very long time away - perhaps we can hold old hope that other long missing forum members will return.

                              Me too! Am I right in recalling that he was a wheelchair user? That said, I rather expect there would be a lot of wheelchair users in Willesden, which iirc was where he resided. "Excuse me stopping you, but are you Amateur 51 by any chance?"
