Another Scare

Posted by Tony Ulrich on Monday, September 6, 2010, In : After Cancer 
My wife's follow-up test all came back okay every since she had her second re-excision done in order to remove her breast cancer tumor. She recently had an MRI done at a different hospital and they called her two days later, asking whether she's aware of a second clip in her breast. During the first surgery, the doctors put a clip in her breast. And we vaguely remember that they put in a second one during one of the re-excision. Because on the new MRI, there is a second one showing up. We ask...

Posted by Tony Ulrich on Wednesday, July 7, 2010, In : After Cancer 
I just went back to New York Presbyterian a couple of weeks ago for my 6 months kidney cancer follow up. They drew some blood and a urine sample. And I was sent for a chest X-Ray. All that is already over 3 weeks ago and since I haven't heard anything back from anybody, I assume that nothing suspicious was found in either test, otherwise somebody would have called me - I guess.....

My wife's latest Ultrasound and Mammogram came back okay, too. Today is actually her "first year cancer-free" ann...

Five months after my RCC diagnosis

I can’t believe it has been five months already since I received my RCC diagnosis. Recently, I got a few emails from readers of my blog and I am grateful and appreciative of their kind comments. They told me that it helped them in their own cancer journeys and that was, after all, my primary goal in writing and sharing about my own experience as a kidney cancer patient.

About Me


Tony Ulrich In March of 2009, my wife Ann got diagnosed with breast-cancer. I dedicated a website and blog to our breast-cancer journey - in case you're interested: www.ourbreastcancer.net. After three surgeries, countless hospital visits and consultations with health care professionals and an empty wallet thereafter, we finally thought that things were about to get better. But another surprise was waiting for us - after I encountered blood in my urine I was sent for a CAT Scan that revealed a 6.2 cm tumor in my left kidney. On October 1 of 2009, I was officially diagnosed with kidney cancer. This website and blog will keep track of my attempt battling the disease.
