    Yes, when the body turns on us, no matter what the cause, we do get angry. And double angry when we're undergoing toxic treatments to out out the da** spot and still are sick or something new and different pops up. At this point, no one has told you your kidney findings are related to your breast cancer, and we all know from experience other disease states can cause both kidney growths and lymph node swellings. 

    You're a true warrior against the beast. Your in active treatment, rads are emotionally trying and very fatiguing. Your immune system is fighting hard, yet has been suppressed by the chemo for necessary treatment of the cancer. Fight it an additive way just now: sleep, plenty of it if possible (can friends take the kids for a few days)-darkend room, sleep aids, all of this helps the immune fighter cells take the high road. Food-protein needed, if you believe in blood type specific food, there's a chart on this discussion forum, but calories to help you. Caloric drinks (not soy added if your ER+) are helpful or Pedialyte given your kidney infection/UTI. Regular schedule to your antibiotic and pain medicine. Advil, ibuprofen, aleve can affect the kidney so perhaps tylenol if your liver function is o.k.

    Gosh, I wish there was more I could offer. Vent away here. You have a right to be angry.

    I'm so sorry you are having to go through this.  My prayers are with you.  I pray that the Onc will have some good news for you!  You are a survivor remember that and keep a positive attitude and fight hard.  Read Psalm 91 it is very comforting.

    So sorry to hear you've been thru so much and it looks like you may be getting more but it will be interesting to hear what the doc has to say.

    I can very well understand your being angry at your body, I'm sure angry at mine.  You have my prayers and hugs.
