What path does kidney cancer take and what happens at the end?

Kidney cancer is extremely aggressive, and spread like wild fire thru the body. It is usually detected when its too late. This is what happened to my Mum. She was diagnosed in May with kidney cancer, but it had already spread to the liver and lung. She pasted away sept 7. Mum was only sick for 4 months, it completely stripped her of her life. xxx

Kidney cancer is a disease in which the cells in certain tissues of the kidney start to grow abnormally and form tumors. The most common type is known as renal cell carcinoma (or sometimes called renal carcinoma).

The prognosis for kidney cancer depends on the stage of development and the treatment. The earlier it is discovered, the better the chances of effectively treating it. If the cancer is confined to one kidney, the affected kidney is usually removed. Once the other kidney is healthy, it is possible to live a full normal life with one kidney.
