Renal Medullary Carcinoma is a sickle cell related kidney malignancy that is usually diagnosed in young patients (median age at diagnosis 28 years old). It is considered a rare malignancy but likely afflicts more people than prior literature suggests given that review of that literature shows patients more in line with Renal Medullary Carcinoma rather than Collecting Duct Carcinoma. 3 year overall survival of RMC is 3%. Upfront chemotherapy then surgery is the suggested treatment. Response rate to platinum based chemotherapies, gemcitabine, doxorubicin is 29%.
These cases are patients who I, or my colleagues have seen. They are de-identified and many instances have been presented in more depth in an academic setting. These videos are not individual medical advice and are for general educational purposes only. I do not give medical advice over the internet.

    Watching this gave me chills. My brother died at age 30 from kidney cancer. He checked most if not all of the same boxes as HC. He had his kidney removed and then started chemotherapy a bit after the surgery, died within three days of his first chemotherapy treatment. My mother has sickle cell trait and it's my suspicion my brother had it as well. Thank you for this video. I think, for the first time in the 21 years since he died, I may have finally found out what happened to him.

    Totally agreed. The fact that he was searching on Google, found a message board of patients, and just decided on a whim to email the doctor is so crazy. This is the type of person that goes into medicine. Somebody that sees someone who they think they can help and immediately responds to comfort them. He must have either coincidentally been reading his email or had his emails alert his phone for just such a situation. I'm sure that was such a relief to HC. Doctor is a saint. Even got an exception for him due to lack of insurance, and he also got very useful data about this specific unique treatment plan to help future patients. When life is looking awful and humanity seems almost like a lost cause, people like Dr. Tannir remind me that there are a lot of good people out there. The bad people are just loud and stick out more.

The doctors are too weak psychologically, to say "i haven't got a clue what is wrong with you", they can't cope with the fact that they are not smart enough to understand what is going on. Their ego can't take it. They find it far more comforting to invent an excuse, than to accept the reality. If you are not fat, alcoholic or a drug addict, it is because you are psychologically or emotionally stressed. Many doctors have serious problems that cause avoidable suffering.

    My dad died of cancer back in 2015, I was just 13 and I don’t think the doctors did everything they could. I remember seeing him go from an active person to someone who couldn’t even move without intense pain from the radiation treatment shattering his femur, him being bed ridden for at least 6 months. I remember watching the man that raised me just deteriorate every day for a year up until my brother picked me up from school on May 8, 2015 and his voice breaking because he was there when our dad died, I remember him taking me to the park to sit with my mom while she told me what happened, I don’t really remember my emotions other than just compassion and empathy, for the next 4 years I did everything I could to help others out and just suppress my depression my grief and my anxiety just to help everyone else. I bottled up every emotion until it all broke out of that bottle. 5 years and 19 day later I followed in his footsteps to enlist in the Army and I work as a Behavioral Health Tech at a psych ward, I still do everything in my power to help out others to this day.

    You can't blame the healthcare system you have to blame the fact that this cancer is so rare that the protocol for kidney cancer doesn't fit the protocol for this form of cancer. Also most cancer patients are not this young unless they have childhood Cancer that reoccurs and usually if it does as a young adult you are basically dead. Having survived non-tradable and non-survivable leukemia I know the miracle of finding a cure to an unusual alleyway. Of an unusual doctor who becomes your Ally and doesn't even require anything hard from you but the desire to have a life. Being remission free for 13 years after watching nurses say I'm sorry your bone marrow transplant didn't take when you hadn't had one yet is such a thrilling feeling. My oncologist was shocked I went into remission, My obgyn geneticist was not.

    I’m really glad that you’re educating people on how cancer isn’t an age related disease. I developed stage three Non-Hodgkins Burkitt’s Lymphoma when I was a year and a half old. I was initially misdiagnosed with the flu and the pediatrician told my mom to return in a few weeks if I hadn’t improved. My mom had a gut feeling and when she was packing up my stroller, she asked the pediatrician to look once more. The doctor did, and had missed that my tonsils had expanded and that I’d swallowed them, and was choking on them. My mom then made the decision to bring me to the local children’s hospital emergency room to try to get a proper diagnosis. If she hadn’t of followed her instinct and trusted her gut feeling that it wasn’t just a flu, I probably wouldn’t be here today. Neither side of my family has had any history of that sort of cancer. It wasn’t anything my parents did or could have prevented. I’ve been cancer free for 27 years now and I’m grateful to be alive. I wish the education system would approach the common belief that cancer doesn’t happen to younger people, or kids.

    ​@Bob Watters They're talking about how HC couldn't get treatement earlier due to a lack of insurance, and how America has grown the history of healthcare being difficult to get without treatement, leading to HC being hesitant. Yes, there are special cases where angels like Tannir help people but it is still very upsetting that he was denied healthcare twice because he didn't have insurance. Be patriotic all you want, but America and it's healthcare is not perfect, neither am I saying other countries have it perfect either.

    Oh my god, I am so glad he survived. God bless that doctor for actually giving a shit about human life. This was a really good case to cover in a video, because it brings up the ENORMOUS problem with US healthcare due to its lack of publicly funded healthcare. Due to finances and/or financially biased doctors people can't get lifesaving care (in time). Also, this really reeks of medical racism--why HIV? No blood test when it's something you can actually easily confirm or dismiss?

    So glad he was able to get the help he needed before it was too late. This was a very "edge of the seat" story; to think had he not took a gamble on that EMail that there was a very high chance he'd not be here today, and from a doctor willing to get him quickly started on a path of recovery despite his "insurance condition". We need more medical professionals out there willing to provide top notch service no matter your financial situation. This was such an eye-opening story for so many reasons; the real life red tape and battles that real people go through to try to get pointed in the right direction for the right care.

    It’s a common misconception that cancer comes with age. Cancer is more likely to occur in older people but it doesn’t have a direct connection to age. Cancer is a mutation in the genes which cause beneficial circumstances for cancer, for example the ability to grow uncontrollably and to resist the immune system. Basically, the stars have to align for cancer to occur which means higher age = more time for said stars to align

    Different locations treat you differently, too, from what I've seen. And even in the same location different members of the medical staff will treat you differently. I needed a major surgery in 2006 and was uninsured. I told the surgeon, "There's no way I can afford this." He said, "We'll deal with that later." I had the surgery (spent about 20 days in the hospital) and was released. About two weeks later I was BACK in the ER with a staph infection. Again, no insurance. The ER doctor asked me if I wanted to speak to a pathologist friend of his who was helping conduct a double-blind study on a new drug. Uh, yes please. The pathologist said, "If you participate in this study, we'll treat you with the new drug or with the usual Vancomycin. But there's no cost to you. If you decide not to, you'll stay here, in the hospital, and they'll treat you with Vancomycin." I opted to be in the study, and whatever they used worked very well. Fast forward to 2016 and I had an exceptional insurance policy, as far as cost was concerned. Maybe because I was in a different city, or the times had changed, so to speak, but the interactions with many of the people on the medical staff were very different. It was borderline hostile at times. I was back in the hospital last October and again this April and I was so distrustful of the staff and doctors that I told my family, "This is an absolute joke. No one here cares about anything." Anyway, sorry to get long winded. Sometimes medical staff treats you ok, sometimes they absolutely don't care.

    They might have had an actual reason for the second scan, i.e. if they did the first scan without contrast agent, noticed there was something weird but needed a scan with contrast agent to get a diagnosis, then did the second scan. I don't know if that's the case, and it does sound very weird that they would do two CT scans on a young man (you generally don't want to expose young people to radiation for no reason), so it's indeed possible they did it just to cash out, as horribke as that sounds

    Never be afraid to reach out to doctors that specialize in your case. My father was diagnosed with heart failure due to an unusual birth defect, and his doctors at home basically sent him home to die, with a two week life expectancy. My mom was able to reach out to the head cardiologist at UCLA who agreed to try an experimental surgery on my father. He was in surgery within the week. This year marked the 5th year anniversary of the surgery and he's doing great.

He wonders when he will die or how long he can keep going like this (his case is not kidney but I was watching this video because I have had a kidney transplant and this video hit home due to how some doctors I have seen were as well and I am in Canada so it isn't about what I can afford but doctors themselves).

    This was heartbreaking. There've been few doctors in my life that I've trusted because most of them only practice at the expense of the patient's life. I'm glad this story turned out positive.

    Watching this and getting increasingly angry at HC's continual lack of proper care and awful situation then hearing Dr. Tannir respond with "Do not despair, there is hope" genuinely made me choked up. Bless the good doctors out there.

    Wow this is such a bigger problem than I had ever imagined. Had this guy waited 5months I guarantee he’d be death. This is the most horrible failure as a society I’ve seen in my life and we have to take action as a society to make changes.

    A doctor can only say that if it is true and he believes it. In this case, correct on both accounts. Guy received a miracle.

    "HC is conscious and alert. He explained to the nurses what had been going down." This is the biggest improvement compared to other cases.
