Do I Have Cancer?
We are Brian & Jessica, a married couple who started on a life-changing whole food, plant-based weight loss journey back in June 2018. In June 2022, our lives were flipped upside-down when Jessica was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. We continue to share our adventures (highs, lows, struggles & everything in between) in following a plant-based diet while keeping you up-to-date on Jessica's cancer journey. In October 2023, we welcomed our very first child via gestational carrier.

Obesity is just an added risk, especially with regards to kidney function. If one kidney is removed ,the other will be doing more work so functioning might be affected. More so if obesity is an issue.

People need to look into alternative medicine. You will go no where with the doctors who made money on these shots. And looked the other way when information was coming out about the shots. It’s very heartbreaking. We need to help each other. 😇🙏🏻.
100% I was just thinking, the stomach pain and trip to the ER was no coincidence. You were being taken care of and meant to find the kidney issue. Incredible!
My aunt had a surprise diagnosis of kidney cancer just like you, over 40 years ago, in her early forties. She had the kidney removed and was fine and dandy for the rest of her life. I believe someone is watching over you, and I wish youll have the same result as my aunt, if this turns out to be cancer ❤❤❤
I have a very similar experience. I went to ER for a UTI. They did a CT scan and found a mass on my left kidney. I had my left kidney removed a month later and it was Clear Cell cancer. It was attached to my kidney but nothing else, no spread anywhere else. I am 10 years out and doing FINE! No other treatments, just periodic scans. God was watching out for me and He is doing the same for you! He is such a good, loving and faithful Father! ❤️🙏

So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. My father had a kidney removed when he had kidney cancer in his early 60s. He's doing great at 83, very healthy plant based. He's told by his kidney doctor to limit protein and No Salt! Apparently, salt is very damaging to the kidney. I cook for my parents as I'm plant based and s.o.s free(salt, oil, sugar free). Good luck losing weight. Focus on oatmeal and berries in the morning, potatoes and lots of veggies, beans that will satiate you during the day. You can do it!!

About 20 years ago my first cousin had an accident with broken ribs and a CT scan found a cancerous tumor on his kidney. You have virtually the same story. I can say that he is alive today because he broke his ribs. Best wishes for a fantastic outcome!
My father had a kidney removed due to cancer at the age of 52 and lived to be 85 and it never came back. The doctor had said at the time that the kidney, if you have to get cancer, is probably the best place due to the fact that they can remove it intact. Prayers for you.
Prayers for you Brian. My 15 month old son nearly drowned in a jacuzzi as his dad dozed off watching him. He was rushed to the hospital & chest xrays showed a very large mass on his spine. Neuroblastoma stage 1. Surgeons told me that someone bigger than all of us was watching out for him. If the near drowning hadn't happened, it would have spread because it was already changing shape.

My mom had a kidney removed in her 70’s due to cancer. Seven years later the other kidney had a benign tumor. The tumor was removed. She lived with that one kidney until she was 99. Glad you checked out your lungs and sounds like you have a good doctor. Take care! 🙏🏻

My father-in-law had his kidney removed because he had cancer. He’s still doing great 10 years later.
The exact same thing happened to me! Got extremely ill, went to the doctor who ordered a scan - a mass on my right kidney . Thankfully, we have a wonderful urologist at Vanderbilt in Nashville. Dr. Chang removed 1/3 of my kidney. I’m 7 years out from that now. I shall be praying for you and your precious family. Stay positive. God bless you.
As an RN, hearing that if it’s cancer , “thankfully “ it’s in the kidney. High cure rate. Many prayers for you all.
Oh, something else. My baby brother had a kidney removed in 1956. He lived a very active and long life with no negative results.
My husband's best friend was in a really bad car crash about 10 years ago that almost killed him. They scanned him head to toe and found kidney cancer. They told him if he hadn't had that crash, they'd have never known because kidney cancer has no symptoms until it's too late. When they find it early, it's usually because they're looking for something else. He had his kidney removed. No radiation or chemo or anything and he's been fine ever since. He had a worse time recovering from his crash!

It took me a while, but I have been plant based for 5 years now. I do have some chronic fatigue, but other than that all is good. Peace and blessings to you and you sweet family.

Brian, God has you and Jessica both in the palm of his hand! We have a friend who lost his kidney to cancer three years ago with absolutely no issues since.

In 2008 my husband mistakenly thought he was Hercules and tried to lift a large creek rock, rupturing 3 discs in his back in the process. During a scan of his back, a mass was detected in his right kidney. Like you, he opted for complete removal and has been fine ever since. We firmly believe his urge to move that rock was divinely sent. Our thoughts and prayers go with you.
Don't worry about this. My mom had it in her early 70's and only had a recurrence about ten yrs later. They resectioned her kidney and had one and a half left. When it came back she would've made it, but she had also been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and that's what she passed from after one year. Praying for you and Jessica.
Hi Brian! My husband has a similar story as yours. In 2021, he was 44 when we found out about his kidney cancer. His cancer was found by chance when he got a scan for his liver. He had no symptoms at all. His tumor was about 7cm. We live in Canada, the doctor here removed it and then did the biopsie. The cancer was agressive but it was removed on time and did not spread anywhere. The surgery went well and he’s living very well with one kidney. Thinking of you and hope everything will go for the best.
Seven weeks ago I had major abdominal surgery for ovarian cancer and am about to undergo chemo as a precaution against recurrence.Being plant based and otherwise fit and healthy didn't stop me getting cancer but I know it helped in my recovery.I wish you well.Stay positive.

My husband had kidney cancer 8 years ago. The urologist thought the tumour had been there ten years; it was about twice the size of yours. It had grown outside the kidney but hadn't spread anywhere else. He had a his entire kidney removed and has been very well - better than he could ever remember feeling - since. Yep, the recovery was a bit tough, but he did really well and is just grateful. I am, too. It'll be ok. :)
