My Brother in law.
			
I have a brother-in-law that had Wilm's. When he was 3 yrs. old. And he is 37 yrs. old now. I don't no exactly the whole story but he has a pretty good scare across his belly. And he only has only one kIdney. But he hasn't had any problem's that I no of. So here is another survior story. I have stage 4 colon cancer my self and I just turned 50 yrs. old. And I can't even imagine a small child having to experience anything that I have. It is so sad when it is children . HUG'S to u all Take Care Colleen

hi Elizabeth
			
My name is Kelly and I had Wilms tumor when I was 5.  I am 30 years old now and I have plenty to talk about.  I went to a camp for kids with cancer and have met many people who survived the same cancer.  Now that I am an adult I would love to talk to someone who can relate and see how it has effected your adult life.  I would love to share stories with you.  I am in Arizona, where are you?

Hi Elizabeth!


I too had a Wilms tumor. I was diagnosed when I was 4 years old, I had chemo and radiation and they had to remove my left kidney. My friends refer to my right as "Uno." I will be 24 in September. Good to see some others out there talking about this... when I looked up some stats for a presentation in my undergrad I saw that 1 in 8million children are diagnosed with Wilms tumor. Not sure how accurate that is now. Are you part of the National Wilms Tumor study?
