[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2418467, member: 365308"] Sorry to hear that you are worried about the scary big C. On the plus side perhaps your fatty liver has allowed the team to pick up something that otherwise wouldn't have been picked up until later. If you are the kind of person that wants to know more then here's a Cancer Research page summarising kidney Cancer: [URL]https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-statistics/statistics-by-cancer-type/kidney-cancer/incidence[/URL] Fatty liver is very common and is a precursor of type 2 diabetes as you may know. Losing weight and eating less carbs (from sugars to breads, pastas, rice and potatoes) will help your body use the extra fat you are storing in the wrong places that is causing your diabetes. There is a link between obesity and cancer (not necessarily kidney which seems more age related) too and so anything that takes you back from the high insulin levels involved with diabetes will also help you lose weight . Insulin is a growth hormone (normally growing calories into fat) and cancers feed on glucose enabled by insulin so I don't think it is controversial to say that there's a link and a few researchers do see caner as a metabolic disease. [B]It may well be that you've got nothing to worry abou[/B]t but whatever you do from now that helps you lose diabetes and weight is likely to benefit your overall health and best manage many risks for 'lifestyle' cancers (the common ones being breast and bowel) as well as heart disease and the other complications of diabetes.
