Feeling Overwhelmed and Getting Through the Day Episode 5

I have been battling health issues for quite a while now. I have a rear condition called CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)   But after a 2 year fight, in April 2018 I was officially diagnosed with CRPS. Come a year later, I started complaining about my left side hurting, and I knew it was different from my CRPS. Again, the medical field was telling me that it was probably my medicines or could be my digestive system and they will keep an eye on it. After a couple of opinion, and still wanting to just watch. My husband was like no...call my GI doctor. At first I said no because its another doctor, another appointment. But the next morning I woke up in agony and told my husband that I will call his GI. It is now July 2019.  I made an appointment, with an amazing GI Doctor. I had a scope done of my digestive system. It came back clean. So did a cat scan, and to find out there was something there. A mass taking up all of my whole left liver, the size of a baseball. So now I was sent to another Specialist, an Urologist. He let me and my family know that I had kidney cancer. I went through surgery with lots of care with my Pain Mang Dr. and Urologist. LOTS of love and care through family and friends. So today I am able to speak with you about taking care of one of the most important people , YOU!!   Have a "Happy" Kidney Cancer Awareness Month and wear your ORANGE!!! It has double powers. For Kidney Cancer Awareness & CRPS!!
