It is quite serious but getting it caught early is key. Focus on setting up a clean routine for the patient and get a reliable family member to manage all the hospital paperwork. Don't waste time on complex diet plans right now, just stick to what the main oncologist advises.
It is a serious diagnosis, so please plan your finances immediately. Get a second opinion from a government medical college hospital if private labs are too expensive. Also, check your health insurance policy details first thing tomorrow to see what tests and scans are covered under day-care.
Please do not search for herbal cures or desi remedies online for something as major as kidney cancer. People will suggest weird juices but it can harm the kidneys further. Go straight to a proper oncologist and trust only their treatment plan.

Actually it is pretty heavy news, yaar. You can't take this lightly at all. Just get them to a solid specialist in Pune or Mumbai immediately and don't panic, modern medicine has got great solutions these days.
My uncle had this three years ago and had one kidney removed. It sounds terrifying but people live perfectly normal lives with one functioning kidney. Just find a top-tier urologist and stay strong, the surgical options are very advanced now.
