Just heard from 50 year old SIL. Stage 2 Kidney cancer detected. Dr. is going to remove it and follow up with Chemo. Sounds like an excepted procedure since you mentioned the same thing. While we are on the subject of Chemo., it's not the horror story you may have heard about. I had a 9 month estimate till termination (my termination) terminal cancer detected in Feb. 2013. 6 Chemo sessions lasting about 4.5 hrs every 3 weeks is all it took. There was no pain in the procedure. A little inconvenient but considering, not a problem. I advanced my mentality by working cross word puzzles during the treatment. Been clean for a year and a half now and feel great.

Medicare negotiated a realistic fee for the procedures and paid 80%. My secondary insurance paid the 20% Medicare left on the table after I paid my annual minimum. Very inexpensive considering the retail price on the street. If you have no insurance then hang onto your pockets as it's pricy......but what's your alternative.....unless you had enough farming and are ready to check out. I did and wasn't quite ready to check out.......got hay to get in if it will quit raining and so far, 2 more weeks at least forcast. Won't be much left. Course the guys that usually have summer hay, planted in late March or early April can't get into the fields so my sorry over grown, mature crop may have some value after all. As a matter of fact a local was over at the house a couple of days ago and said he'd take the whole crop in whatever condition is winds up. That smoothes off some sharp edges.

The glass is half FULL!
