Hi William,
Like all the others here I'm sorry for the circumstances that brought you here but welcome. Everyone here is so supportive and helpful!
I don't know what I'd do without this group!

I feel even worse for the spread to your kidney. What I've been told about preventing spread is take Vitamin C 500 -1000 mg. daily. I've had several nerve blocks & I don't know if that prevents it or not. I've only been diagnosed for 9 months and so far very little spread.

The people really do understand what you're going through even if they can't fix it. We can be ourselves here and don't have have to put on the brave face all of the time.
