I had Wilms Tumor

Hello I had Wilms Tumor at age 5. I don't remember much about my experience with cancer in general just a couple of memories from the time that stand out as side effects or part of my treatment.

 I’m 46 and was diagnosed at age 2 with a tumor the size of 3 grapefruits on my left kidney. I had surgery , chemo and radiation. I’ve had many complications since- including a seriously decreased heart rate during childbirth (but I have a perfectly healthy 21 year old son now!) and cardiac arrest resulting in 53 minutes of cpr due to a weaken heart’s reaction to a blood pressure drug. It’s been such a long road physically, mentally and emotionally. But, I’m still here. If I could give my best advice- I’d say to stay on top of follow up- no matter how excessive it may seem. At some point- the impact of what you went through will hit you. And you’ll want to know you’ve done everything you could for yourself and your loved ones.
