 My name is Julie Shmura. I'm 11 year survivor of kidney cancer and I was diagnosed with bilateral tumors one in each kidney and I've had three different surgeries. I've had Hand assisted laparoscopic. I've had a cryo surgery and I've had an open surgery Let's see we We host a kidney cancer group in Seattle and we have for the past eight years What else? Well, Julie has quite a story because when she was first diagnosed they spotted the tumor in her one kidney Totally missing the fact that there was a tumor in the other kidney and three different doctors She went for a second opinion and a third opinion three different doctors said what we've got to do is take out your entire right kidney Without ever noticing the left kidney So I guess there's a cautionary tale there that everybody should probably get at least that second opinion and maybe more She kept going until she felt comfortable with the doctor and it turns out the doctor She felt comfortable with is the one that ended up doing all three of her surgeries She isn't a survivor and she's tough But she's been through a lot so We've been to many kidney cancer conferences and you might want to talk about how that worked for hope Well when we went to the first conference I Was totally against it and I really didn't want to go but once I got there I met all these wonderful people with the same cancer that I had and It very it was inspirational and gave me a lot of hope so I came back just Full of joy and happiness and knowing that I was going to live It was great And I think that's kind of the takeaway message that that we've got here the Conferences and the hope that that we got from you working with the kidney cancer Association made a huge difference for both of us As a caregiver, I didn't know how to what to make of it either But in the last 11 years we've become pretty comfortable with understanding what's going on and being able to help other People understand what's going on and to my estimation that has been part of what has made Julie successfully Get through all of the trials and tribulations and all the post surgeries and everything Have any closing Just keep on fighting the fight
