Welcome to my Kidney-Cancer Website
I never before encountered any kidney cancer symptoms on myself, nor did I even consider the remote chance that the blood in the urine I passed in early September of this year, would have eventually led to my kidney cancer diagnosis. I started this website on October 3rd., 2009 - two days after I learned that the doctors found a 6.2 centimeter (2.5 inches) tumor in one of my kidneys and I was told that I had kidney cancer - likely Renal Cell Carcinoma or 'RCC', only a few months after my wife Ann was diagnosed with breast cancer. This website and blog will grow as I will go through my journey in battling the disease. My intention is to share my experience with others in the hope that they can learn and benefit from the information I’m going to provide. I’m neither a doctor nor an expert on kidney cancer but I am an eager student and it is important to me to learn as much as possible about kidney cancer, its causes, diagnosis, treatments and share my findings with you.
As I started building my website www.ourbreastcancer.net after my wife got diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2009. I experienced a therapeutic effect it had on me caused by the research and communication with others in the process of gathering information to post online. And this is why I intend to do exactly the same for my kidney cancer story. If you have any questions, please send me an email to planetcaravan@gmx.com and I promise to get back to you in a timely fashion. Tony Ulrich |
