So I realized it might be good to do a recap here of my story, otherwise known as, “No, really, I promise I almost died six years ago.”

May 2016, five days after my 29th birthday, I am diagnosed in an @StRoseHospitals ER when a CT scan finds a 13 cm tumor that has taken over my right kidney. The amazing ER doctor & PA had already called a local urologist so I can see him first thing in the morning.
