Hi. Since last using this forum I have been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. Now with the prospect of chemotherapy, how do I improve eGFR?

I will leave it to others to talk about improving your eGFR, but I have had cancer and refused chemotherapy. I'm fine now without it. Think it over very carefully because it literally poisons your entire system, which is very, very hard on your kidneys.

Any treatment is optional.

Thanks for your reply. That is something I have thought about and I will bring up when I next meet with the doctor which could be a week or so yet. Thanks again.
