Welcome to OCF! Its always great having another survivor join our ranks. Im sure your experiences will be of help to our members who are going thru treatments.

The 3 members you mentioned were dear friends of mine. I still miss them (and several others) very much. Charm, EzJim and Gabe all passed away well before their time. Their posts will continue to live on giving support to others who seek their wisdom.

Have you asked your doctors about the relation of your kidney problems to the chemo? One member comes to mind Paul, he ran into kidney failure. Hopefully he will see this and give his input soon.

Best wishes with your continued recovery.
