I don’t know.

These are the three words I have come to detest. I say them countless times a day. And I’m pretty sure I will be saying them for awhile. But finally, one thing I do know is that after 3 endoscopic biopsies, I have renal cell clear cell carcinoma…in my pancreas.

How did this happen? Well…I don’t know. I do know that this is not a good thing. But really, is any kind of cancer a good thing? I do know that they tell me this is unusual. It’s hard to understand how you get kidney cancer in your pancreas. Apparently cells migrated from my old cancerous kidney into the pancreas. Aren’t I lucky?

So what’s next? … (insert 3 detested words). I’m fairly certain some type of treatment is in my future. There has been some talk about surgery. The next step is likely to meet with my “cancer team” to decide on a treatment plan. I have lots of questions…

Like Shaboozey, I could use some “Good News”.

Join me as I go down this road.
