My Story...

in Kidney Cancer #1

Hello to my fellow survivors and survivors to be! I just joined this site. This is the first time I have EVER posted about my journey with the cowardly kidney cancer RCC that I was diagnosed with in November of 2005. Before I joined I read just about every post regarding our specific journey with this disease. I was deeply touched about your fears, doubts, and strengths...all the emotions. I wrote a short article on CNN iReporte back in April of this year as an outlet to express my feelings about my journey and how family and friends became my salvation. I would love if you could take time to read it: http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-962331 I am cancer free now 8 years on December 8th, 2013!!!! I wish all people dealing with cancer in any form my heartfelt care and concern that you/we enjoy a most fruitful future filled with good health, happiness, and the love of family and friends. Cancer can kiss my butt!

    Very well said.

    Mahatma,

    Your story is my story and the story of at least half of those on this board where the beast was caught early.
