Ohhh this just made me feel soo much better... I just found out yesterday that my entire left kidney is covered in abnormal cysts and it is getting removed this coming week to be tested for cancer.. They cant do a biopsy because that would spill cancerous tissueand liquid all through my abdomen if they are cancerous.. Im 17 years old and kidney cancer is very rare for my age.. So after getting my kidney taken out I guess we'll go from there.. But this did make me feel a lot better.

My dad is having his kidney removed in a few weeks (he just had some stents put into his heart so there will be no worry about heart problems during the surgery) and watching this has really calmed me down because I have been VERY shaky the last few weeks since we heard dad has kidney cancer.
Thank you for sharing with the audience, and even though I don't believe in any divinity, I do believe the god you believe in had blessed you very much. May your days be strong and full of energy.
