Some forms of renal cancer are very difficult to treat. The cancer can spread to other organs and the tumor can cause the organs to stop working. If renal cancer spreads to the brain then the patient may lapse into a comma or die very quickly. Even if the tumor does not spread, the presence of renal cancer on the kidney can cause the kidney to shut down. In addition, patients undergoing aggressive treatment for kidney cancer can find themselves constantly weak, which can actually make fighting the cancer even more difficult. But you never "know" you are dying of renal cancer and you have to remain positive and fight for as long as possible.
