...I have done most of that, but have not connected with anyone else with kidney cancer or family/friends of such a patient. There was to be a meeting at a local hospital, but it has be cancelled. Still looking.

This is one of my closest friends ~~ like family to me ~~ and I am having a very bad time with this.
