Hi jr and welcome to IHD.  My friend had the same as you.  One day you have kidney function the next day you don't but with cancer they have to go.  5 years later she is doing GREAT and cancer free and ready to go on the transplant list.  Usually you have to be cancer free 5 years before you can get a transplant.  You can do this.
