Hi!
Thank you for sharing your story with me. I can only imagine all of the stress and physical pain that you have been going through. I know, that one day very soon, you will be 100%. I was wondering what your pathology report had stated (i.e. clear cell, papillary, mixture, benign, etc). Also, why are all of these MD's confident that this type of cancer will not return? What makes this cancer so different than the others? Perhaps I should not question it, and be very hopeful! Mom is going to have her surgery in a few weeks!
Sincerely,
TOM
