Stage 3B

I was diagnosed with 3b and the tumor had grown into the renal vean and into the inferior vena cave.

My kidney was removed and my inferior vena cave cut and tied off.

I am a 1 1/2 year survivor.  I didn't do any meds.  I went to work 3 mos after my surgery.  I do have to be on coumadin for blood clots and I have some awful vericose veins.  But I'm alive.  My doctor told me I was lucky to be alive.

Now she is working with my oncologist and my vasucalar sugeron to take me off the coumadin and declare me cancer free.  I can't wait to here those words.

So, there is hope for you.  Put your faith in God and you can be cancer free.
