What does kidney cancer do to you?

My Dad has Kidney Cancer and has started coughing up lung tissue. What can I expect?

• My father has stage four kidney cancer and was taken to the hospital recently when he started coughing up lung tissue. He is in a lot of pain and is trying to manage with pain medications but still seems able bodied. I am wondering if anybody else has endured a similar experience and if you can share with me what this might mean? Is this a bad sign that things are going to start to deteriorate quickly or is this common in the early stages of terminal illness?

• Answer:

  I'm afraid she and Alexei died with the whole family in that tragedy. The evidence has become very clear in the past few years. A sad, undeserved fate for the kids. The czar on the other hand may have warranted execution. He along with Kaiser Wilhelm and Franz Joseph of Austria are largely responsible for the even greater tragedy that was World War I.
