The first posting

Hi everyone,

This is my first posting about my mom's newly diagnosed cancer. At this point, all we know is that she has been diagnosed with kidney cancer which has metastisized to her lungs and liver. She went to the urologist yesterday who told her that the oncologist will be calling most of the shots. He said that at this point it would probably not be helpful to remove the kidney where the cancer started as it has spread beyond the kidney into the vein there. She sees the oncologist today and we'll see what he or she says and what kind of treatment options are available.

I'll write more after that appointment which is this afternoon.
