Happy New Year Fellow Cancer Warriors

Posted by Tony Ulrich on Thursday, December 30, 2010, In : My Kidney Cancer 
Oh well, 2010 is almost over. For some reason I’ve been thinking about my kidney cancer a lot lately. It has nothing to do with fear or anything like that. I guess one of the things that still confuses me is as to why I was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, what was it caused by. As I said before, there is no way to conclusively determine the cause of kidney cancer. However, when I met with my oncologist at New York Presbyterian we both agreed that a potential cause could have been my ex...

Wow, I can’t believe that it has been that long since I posted here. This is when kidney cancer becomes part of your life, but it is not the dominating part anymore. And in my case, it actually never was, because my wife’s breast cancer always concerns me much more that my own health situation.

Anyway, it’s time for an update. Okay, back in early September I told you about the report that we received from Hackensack University and how scared we were after the MRI. A couple of days later...

Back to 'Normal'

Life has me back. What a strange year it was, 2009. But I am back at work since January 1st and busier than ever. Health-wise I'm doing okay, nothing to complain about.

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.
