    Our stories are almost identical ..... chronic cough, back and forth to the doc with no changes, ct and then removal (Lap) .... I have just one more word attached to mine ... "Sarcoma" .. 90%, we know what that means .. Its been a year this month and I thank God for each day that passes, the best of luck to you!

      Why don't you thank those who are really responsible for your wellbeing...mainstream medicine and science? Not your 'imaginary friend' in the sky.

      @MrTrythebest really? Not half as small as failure to give credit where credit is due. There is only one reason why we are living longer nowadays and it's because of engineering, science and medicine. How did god go as a surgeon back in the past when life expectancy was half of what it is today? How did he go curing the black plague that wiped out much of Europe? Not too good would be my comment. I've had kidney cancer (12 years ago) and it was detected early because of what we have available today. I'd have died a mere 20-30 years ago. Let's at least be honest with ourselves.

    Thank you for telling your story...I too have been diagnosed with RCC...and I have a question...I am not afraid of dying as I have found myself in a situation with no family or friends (social anxiety ×10...lol)...but I am phobic about vomiting which means I will not do chemo...you said you never did either? Just wondering if this particular diagnosis is not one where chemo helps ?Again thank you for your story of strength and fortitude

      I am sorry to hear...it is highly curable if caught in time...90%...I am sure your doc has explained it...even if it had spread there is a new procedure they can do to drastically improve quality of life for a long time...to my knowledge...without chemo

      Allison, nausea and vomiting are common side effects, that can be controlled with medication while your body is going thru a battle with chemo. If there are options to treat the type of cancer, hopefully in the early stage, don't be afraid, you have many friends here.

    Obviously these are being posted by and organization. If this woman has type 2 diabetes then I don't even want to hear what she has to say. I know that can be cured so I know this is an organization and not her making this video herself. I would much rather hear from people not prompted to promote a cancer facility.

      @heathercorbett5056 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      +Sheila meri Wow! I am shocked by your response. I assure you my story is true and I would be glad to speak with you about my experience. I have been in hospital rooms at the side of people with Kidney Cancer just to show them it is not always a death sentence. My cancer came back in 2013 RCC metastasized to my small bowel and again was surgically removed. I have not had any chemo and I am still here. Kidney Cancer Canada is a patient let organization and not a cancer facility and it is fantastic for patient support. I am surprised you would find anything negative about that. As for my Diabetes I have been diabetic for both of my pregnancies in my twenties and then permanently a few months after my second child was born at 29years of age. Possibly I could reduce the amount of medication I am on if I was to loose weight but I was still diabetic even when I was skinnier. I am now on insulin. If you have the cure for diabetes why aren't you letting the rest of us in on it. You could be rich and famous!

      Heather, Look on youtube for "Simply Raw Reversing Diabetes in 30 days". There is a picture of a heavy black woman on the video. Please watch it. There is evidence of people curing their type 2 diabetes. Sheila

      Check out youtube. Check out Dr. cousins, or other people that talk about diabetes. There is so much information on it.
