To Steve, RE: Renal Cancer
by: James on Thu, May 17 2007

Hello Steve, My prayers are with you and your wife. I want you to know that you’re not alone. At age 31 my left side of my abdomen, from my groin up to above my kidney, looked to be higher than the right side while lying on my back. After a month or two I went to the doctor and was told my kidney shut down and that they needed to remove it. After it was removed I was told that it contained a malignant tumor and that I would need my ureter removed. Funny thing is that I felt I was in perfect health and never felt any pain. It was an awful time in my life but I’m thankful that after 10 years I haven’t had any recourse. You hang in there and keep praying.
