I am a 40 year old Stage 4 Kidney Cancer warrior. My blog blends updated medical information about cancer and new treatments and my personal experience on this journey and insights on how I am dealing with victories and setbacks.

I have 4 kids and 9 grandbabies and they are my world. They are my reason for fighting cancer with optimism and strength. I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer on 5/5/10 and had a radical Nephrectomy on 10/7/10. I would never hope for cancer but I am grateful for what having cancer has taught me.
