renal cell and brain tumor

Post a new topicby mikeoconnor on Fri Apr 18, 2008 1:12 pm


On March 22 my Mom 52 years old had a bad headache and a brain tumor 1inch in diameter was found. A mri was done that revealed a mass on her right kidney, adrenal gland, multiple spots on the lung, liver, and the brain tumor. The brain tumor was removed Marched 26th and pathology reported back that it was renal cell cancer. Since the tumor removal she has had 1/3 of her skull removed because of swelling of the brain and on April 9th she had the skull put back on. She just moved to the rehab floor and is doing well. The doctors have not told us yet but from reading the posts it looks like stage 4. She still has full kidney function and has had no blood in her urine. If anyone would like to give me some advice or hope I would Appreciate it. MPO
