KIDNEY CANCER

To any one who knows about kidney cancer
My husband was driving back from across the U.S. when he called me and asked what blood and clots meant when he went to the rest room. I was thinking kidney infection but called the next day and was in the hospital so far away. The doctor done tests and cat scans. And said he has a large mass on his left kidney and it had to come out his whole kidney, so we went to the doctor when he got home. He had his left kidney taken out May 3rd, he went back for check up today and got a good report. He has to have a cat scan every 6 months for 2 years. The cancer did not spread, we are so thankful that he may return to work in about 3 more weeks. Just thought I would tell my story.
