You are an inspiration - Thank you - I had my left kidney removed in Aug this year due to RCC grade 2, stage 3a. I can certainly relate to the fact of knowing that it was something more than they thought and also the incredible pain post op. Its reasurring to know that there are other people out there that have gone through what seems at the time a very lonely, and frightening experience. I'm 4 months post op now and facing life with a more positive outlook - thanks to people like you

Thank you for sharing with us, Jessica! I had a kidney sarcoma and I am currently having radiation treatments. You are totally right in saying there is so much a person doesn't know when they get involved with this and the medical community needs to understand this much better than they now do. I am so happy for your positive outcome! Stay strong!

I appreciate the candid nature of this video, while deploring the lack of action taken by the initial physians to confirm by biopsy just because it didn't fit into the categories of their experiences, resulting in a 2 month or more delay in removing the tumor. Praise God, Jessica, that He gave you the unsettled feeling so you would aggressively pursue action. And your doctor not telling you about the consult to Sloan Kettering for 2 weeks was unethical and just plain wrong. Glad of the outcome.
