Well, I lost my right kidney to cancer in Feb. of 03. 50 years of smoking, eating garbage. What a wake up call. I was not as bad off as you are. The night I got home from the hospital I just laid there and sobbed. Telling God how sorry I was that I got Cancer and lost my kidney. I got on the computer the next day and started a journey. Anyway to encourage you 4 years later I'm in the best shape of my adult life. I had a c.t. this summer, for my piece of mind. Everything is doing fine. left kidney clear. In all of my searching there was not a lot on the net about kidneys. I live alone, my ex dropped me off at the hospital for the surgery, and picked me up 8 days later and dropped me off at my house. I went through the whole thing alone. But I made it. I will keep you in my prayers. There are people here that know a lot more then I so about healing. I might check into cesium chloride, with potassium, if I were you. Take care.
