A picture from before kidney surgery
I am trying to stay positive, enjoy life and do the things I like the most.
My name is Corina, I am 40 years old and this is my story with kidney cancer.
In September 2018, I did an ultrasound for some gallbladder issues. They saw a mass on my left kidney. I did a CT scan and an MRI in October 2018, that showed a 3 cm solid tumor with malignant tumor appearance.
I had surgery on 11/27/2018 (laparoscopic left partial nephrectomy) and the pathology report confirmed that it was an RCC (clear cell carcinoma).
I also fight with a chronic illness called endometriosis since I was 23-24 years old, and I had 7 surgeries for that, including total hysterectomy, last surgery in august 2018.. and after 
that, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer.
My CT scan after surgery will be in March. I am so afraid that this cancer will return.. I always think about that and I want to know if there is a treatment that can stop a possible recurrence..but the doctors says that in this stage no treatment is need, just monitoring.
I am trying to stay positive, enjoy life and do the things I like the most.
KCCure thanks Corina for sharing her cancer story.
