I'm in the same boat as you, mate. Terminal renal cancer. I've lost too many organs from the damage done, including most of my stomach too. I guess I've been somewhat lucky as I've never had chemo (it's not effective against renal cancer), but my hair has still fallen out because I am radioactive (my current treatment involves radioactive agents). I'm well and truly past my use-by date, but any extra time I have now is just icing on the cake. I can't work anymore but I get to enjoy my time with my kids, family, and friends.

Stay strong! :)

That past my use-by date line hit way harder than it probably should've. Wishing you a ridiculous amount of extra icing on that cake, mate. ❤️
