Cancer

I had a CT scan on my kidney yesterday and the Dr found a tumor he is sure is cancer. I knew there was SOMETHING on my kidney due to an ultrasound and I was also aware that there was a good chance that it might be cancer but to actually hear it is terrible. I don't have many details, the Dr said that he didn't see where the cancer had spread on the CT scan but he's also a urologist, not a radiologist or an oncologist so one of them might look at it and see something different.

The next step is that VA in Oklahoma City will contact me and they'll take over my treatment. They'll probably end up removing my kidney. If the cancer hasn't spread that may take care of it. If kidney cancer is caught before it spreads it is highly survivable, if it has spread the survival percentage drops considerably.

So now I have the biggest fight of my life. I'm 35 years old, this shouldn't happen to people my age. But it does so all I can do is fight it and get on with my life. I have a 2 year old boy who's counting on me. Your prayers would be appreciated.
