All my best to you!. Ive had kidney problems since birth. Neither of my kidneys ever functioned at 100%. Ive lost some % of functioning of both.
And I had/have cancer, being diagnosed three years ago. And yes, kidneys are critical for cancer care and chemo. Most of the time people dont realize that chemo really fucks with your kidneys. If you dont have sufficient kidney function, there is no chemo.
Kidneys are life. People think its as easy as just getting dialysis. It might be, unless you really need you kidneys for something else.
Good luck Paul ! Thoughts are with you.
