Season II - Episode 18
A very special guest today, we welcome a friend of Patrick going back 12 years to their meeting in the Racing Scene.
Patrick met todays guest during his racing carer back in the day Pete Diamant a fellow competitor in the popular Mini Challenge national race series.
Pete was diagnosed in April 2021 with Stage 4 Renal (Kidney) cancer and started IppiNivo Immunotherapy some six weeks later.
Some later complications whilst receiving this treatment required further treatment and stays in hospital. In December 2023 Pete received the news a secondary cancer discovery had been made during his routine checkup.
Pete openly and honestly tells us his story form diagnosis to present day, this is truly a remarkable journey and whilst Pete has a positive mental attitude he omits this has been tested to the limit second time around.
Renal cancer, also known as Kidney cancer, is a group of cancers that starts in the kidney. Symptoms may include blood in the urine, a lump in the abdomen, or back pain. Fever, weight loss, and tiredness may also occur.
Early on, kidney masses do not typically cause any symptoms and are undetectable on physical examination. As kidney cancer becomes more advanced it classically results in blood in the urine, flank or back pain, and a mass. Other symptoms that are consistent with advanced disease include weight loss, fever, night sweats, palpable swollen lymph nodes in the neck, non-reducing varicocele, bone pain, continuous cough, and bilateral lower leg swelling.
