Doctors have explained to me that our kidneys often hide tumours well, but when they grow, they shout to the immune system because of strange proteins on their surface. They said my lost VHL gene is why the cancer started, like a broken brake letting cells grow wild in low oxygen.
But the 'obvious' answer is that this immunogenicity makes treatment straightforward. For me, the immunotherapy burns like a fever for days, a price for a chance. My small victory is still walking to the library on Saturday, moving my pawn slowly, while my body fights its own hidden war.
