I find the doctor's attitude mind boggling and if I were hubby not
something I would be prepared to take, even from an oncologist, which
the surgeon would not have been. Kidney cancer has a good prognosis if
caught early, a mass the size of his didn't get there overnight so not
caught early. And even if it did then that would make it an aggressive
cancer, one that had to be treated sooner rather than later. You also
mentioned there was lymph involvement. Radiotherapy and chemo are there
to kill off what they can't actually detect at this point, it's not a
wait and see kind of thing.

There was NO lymph involvement but it had spread to the surrounding fat.
He said chemo is highly ineffective against this kind of cancer but would
see what the oncologist said.

Huh? This was your report when it was found he had cancer:

"It was cancer. Had spread to the lymph nodes and surrounding several
inches of fat. Dr. got all that but doesn't know if it has spread
anywhere else.
He has to go to the oncologist for that. So far that's all we know."

Yes. But then when I met with the Dr., he said it had NOT spread to the
lymph nodes. So what my husband told me was not true. He still thinks he
does not have to go to the oncologist and nobody can convince him otherwise.
