Please quit now. A dear friend of mine just got back from MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, after discovering recurrent kidney cancer. His initial cancer margins were not clean, but he allowed himself to be lulled into thinking it would be OK. Be aggressive with your treatment, monitoring, and health. My friend may leave behind a young widow, and many sad friends, before too much longer.
