cancer doctor here. Skinny people get cancer, too. Don't be too hard on yourself! So common to ask, "Why did I get this?" Everyone asks that. Love your positive attitude, best of luck with surgery!
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.
You still prescribing toxic chemo. You going to speak up about the increase of turbo cancers since the covid jabs were enforced upon us? Probably not, most doctors are morally bankrupt.

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 ❤❤❤
Dear Brian, I donated a kidney to my husband. He’s doing great and so am I with only one kidney. I went in on a Tuesday morning and walked out Friday morning. It was uncomfortable for about a week and then it was back to normal. I was walking 12km a day two weeks after that. You’ve got this!❤️🇨🇦
@@karenc.7728 hey 👋🏼. I basically eat everything as before the transplant. We try to make sure we only have one protein a day. Lots of veg and plenty of water. One thing we still do is double boil the potatoes .We are coming up to our two year transplant-anniversary. Hope this helps.
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.
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!
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!
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!!
@@ruthginsberg3949Veggies don’t contain the vital minerals and other essential nutrients that the human body needs. Plant protein isn’t absorbable to the human body, we need animal protein which comes from meat, dairy products and eggs. They’re super nutritious foods. Table salt is toxic (has calcium chloride in it, it’s poisonous substance). Use Himalayan pink salt, it’s very healthy and good 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. God is good & if it isn't our time, he has his way of saving us. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I'm glad you are both alright! I am waiting on a biopsy of my uterus. The lining was found to be abnormally thick in an ultrasound. I'm hoping eating this way and low fat (I'm following the Starch Solution but fell off of the wagon for awhile and getting back) will see me through this.
@@bonniespruin6369 I, too, hope that you are ok. I'm praying for you as well. After my surgery the pathology report came back as stage 1 cancer in the endometrial lining.

I wasn't plant based at the time, but I am now & never going back to a SAD / standard American diet.
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! 🙏🏻
I had a kidney removed. In 2012 I donated one of my kidneys to a stranger. It was an amazing experience. My other kidney is doing great and my labs look just as good as they did before donating it. I hope you don’t have cancer. You guys have been through enough!
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.
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.
I had kidney cancer 2 year and 3 months ago. They removed my right kidney. No chemo, no Radiation. My 2 year check up went great! I'm actually walking up big hills in my neighborhood every day to stay in shape. Good Luck to you!
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. Our nephew lost his kidney at six weeks old, and has lived with no issues as well. He is now 43 years old! You got this, miracles happen and God is at work!🙏🏻❣
Brian, my husband found his RCC because of a kidney stone. It is a blessing to find RCC so early because generally, they don’t. I will be praying for you. My husband had a partial nephrectomy 6 years ago last month, just after he turned 40. I am so thankful it was found.
I was diagnosed with kidney cancer just before Christmas. Had a biopsy in March and it came back malignant. I was told I had Chromophobe RCC and I have my surgery April 30th. Best of luck to you, I ll keep you in my prayers. ❤🙏
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.
Brian, I am sending up prayers to the Lord that He will bless you according to His plans for you. You and Jessica are both fighters who support each other. I know you can make it through this trial because with God, nothing is impossible! Brian, you are a very good man, and I pray God's greatest blessings upon you!
Most RCC is found incidentally. Mine was found in 2014. RCC with mets to my lungs. After radical nephrectomy and 6 mos immunotherapy, I have been NED for almost 10 years. 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. You got this! #Warrior 🧡
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.
Praying for you Brian! My dad had kidney cancer when he was 69, they had to remove a kidney. He lived to be 91 1/2 cancer free. Wishing the best for you!
Bless you Brian, my husband also had kidney cancer which was discovered when he need surgery for an appendicitis He is doing well, we are now five years post nephrectomy.
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. :)
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!
My sister-in-law had a kidney removed because of kidney cancer. She did wonderfully. This was many years ago and she does everything she wants in her life. I wish you the very best. Advocate for yourself and get the best treatment possible. My prayers are with you.
I’m a two time cancer survivor…breast (22 years) and Hairy Cell leukemia. Doing well…you will too…Sending you and your family. much strength and love. ❤
I'm 48 years old and I was diagnosed with Papillary renal cell cancer last year. I had a right side nephrectomy last year but I was given the option for a partial refectomy. I decided not to because it would of been a longer surgery and I had decided not to put my body through the additional stress. I was very lucky that I was stage 1a when it was found, Good luck Brian.
My boyfriend found kidney cancer early through a kidney stone X-ray. It was the same kind that took his brother so he is thankful every day for that kidney stone!! They were able to watch it and then did cryoablation when it started getting too big. All the scans over the past few years have been clear thankfully. Sounds like you have a good plan for your situation.
I’m sending prayers your way. I think you guys are such a sweet family!! It’s not kidney cancer, but my Dad had bladder cancer when he was 50. They removed his bladder and ureters and then constructed a new bladder for him. He is in his late nineties now!!
Brian, I know you don't know me, but I'm one of your many cheerleaders for you, Jessica, and Elsie! You have my love & truest, most sincere prayers! I'm with ya, I think this is the sign from God saying to continue on your path to teach others! And to not push your own health aside no matter what. I've been through cervical, pancreatic, and uterine cancer. I finally had my radical hysterectomy, and I felt very alone throughout the process. I have a loving husband and daughter, but none of our parents are alive, and all 4 passed from different cancers. Grandparents, too. And I'm so overjoyed that you have so many people cheering you on! I know I spent many hours talking to God about Jessica. I think you're beautiful people, and I appreciate you sharing your life in order to help others!❤
I believe you when you say you'll do everything you can to be healthy. Your daughter is lucky to have a dad who will fight hard to watch her grow up. Best to all of you.
I also had an extra long colon. Every time I had an abdominal X-ray I had Drs and medical students studying my films lol. Now I also had a large inflammatory polyp that was too awkward to remove, they left it- and it became cancerous. I had my whole colon removed 15 years ago and d subsequently also had cervical cancer. I’m still here 9 years after my second cancer and am now 63. Sending you lots and lots of prayers for a speedy and complete recovery xxxxxxxxxxx
I had a heart MRI and it found a 7cm mass in my kidney. It was in the cantre so I had my kidney removed. That was 7 years ago and I am living happily with my one and only kidney. There is no treatment other than a nephrectomy. Just about all kidney cancers are found accidentally and thats great because its early before ever you get any real symptoms. We are very lucky to have had these accidental cancer finds. Good luck, you will be fine I am sure ❤
We’re going to pray it’s benign! I was 41 when I was diagnosed with lymphoma, which was caught in a mammogram. Doc said it’s rare for my type of cancer to start in the breast. God’s work, for sure. 10 years later, I’m still in remission…. You’ve got this either way, you can’t go wrong with God by your side! God Bless
My daughter was in a car accident and in the process of checking to make sure all was well they found a tumor on her kidney. They removed it, it was benign but the surgery was rough!! Plan on taking it easy. Will keep you in our prayers
So sorry! Cancer is on the rise since covid. My best friend’s mom (in remission 9 years) now she has turbo cancer, stage 4 breast cancer. We are devastated! 💔
I had a minor health scare and boy does that get you to tighten up the way you live your life. I wish you well. Let us know when you are having the surgery so that we can pray for you and your family.
I’m sorry you are going thru these troubles! I like you so much and it’s because your demeanor is so gentle and genuine. One stray a time my friend. I’m a cancer survivor. 😘
Sorry to hear about you possibly having kidney cancer. In 2008 at the age of 49, my husband had a partial nephrectomy due to kidney cancer. He's had no recurrence or kidney issues since praise God! Praying for a wonderful outcome for you as well!
Wow oh wow Brian. I'm so sorry that you even have to have that word in your life anymore!!! I'm so glad they found this NOW though. A friend of ours had the same. Cancerous mass on his kidney. It was removed so many years ago that I can't remember. He felt good as new functioning with one kidney. Prayers for you and Jessica.
Brian, I was diagnosed with early stage Endometrial cancer back in 2017. My treatment was surgery alone. Like you, neither chemotherapy nor radiation were needed! I'm so grateful to God. You are in my prayers for a complete recovery!
Your daughter is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I don't know what to say. We are all suffering from cancer these days, if not, we will be. The most we can do is LIVE EVERY MINUTE and be positive. You have so much love around you, soak it up. Life is a fickle journey, there are many more roads for you to travel here and there. Sending much love to your and your family.
Had my kidney removed 12 years ago for renal cell carcinoma. That was my start of my wfpb diet. After lots of anxiety and worry during all my years of ct survellance; Cancer strangely enough ended up being a blessing for ME. I don’t think I would be in the health that I am today.
Prayers to you Brian. I had cancer and my husband got cancer two years later. Both of us in our 60’s. Good luck! All will go well I am sure you are at the best hospital. Cancer survivor Kathy Erie pa
Brian, In my Thoughts and Prayers. Jessica and Elsie need you to be better. I'm glad you listened to your body. I'm getting ready as I watch for a Dr appt. Take all things possible to help yourself. ❤️🙏🏼
I am so sorry Brian. I had kidney cancer, they took out 1/2 of my kidney, they did it robotically, because the year before I had open heart surgery the year before and my Dr didn't want me to go through more major surgery. Sending prayers for you. 🙏🙏
Prayers for your family. It’s a real challenge to be dealing with this yourself now. Sounds like that ER trip saved your life. God is watching over you guys.
My father in law had kidney cancer and his kidney removed over 50 years ago and loved for over 40 years longer. It’s a good thing you’re plant based because because too much animal protein is not good for kidneys! Good luck!
Brian, so sorry to hear that you may have cancer. I am praying for you and Jessica. Thank you for sharing your story and for sharing the picture of Elsie! She is so cute!
Prayers for you Brian. Thank you for being transparent. You & Jessica have definitely been through some major tests! Thankful you have a relationship with God to help you through this! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My prayers are with both you and Jessica as you journey forward together with this new threat of cancer. May God's favor bless your sweet family. I believe in my heart that God's healing hand is upon you Brian... you are all in my prayers! From the ♥, Vicki in Virginia
I'll be sending good vibes that you're part of the 15% that this isn't cancer. If it is, I'm glad you've caught it early and are taking care if it now. I can't believe the couple of years you and Jessica have had. From the lowest low (cancer) to the highest high (the birth of Elsie). God bless you both (and Elsie, too).
My sister-in-law had her tumor removed but it came back and so she had another surgery to remove the kidney. Other than a slightly restricted diet, she’s had no life changes from it. Thank you Lord that your cancer was found.God did the same for me with uterine cancer and I never had to go through treatment. I became a healthier vegan and lost a bunch of weight after my cancer diagnosis. I’m so grateful. Obesity is causing so much cancer. We need you guys to keep encouraging this lifestyle. You will be in our prayers. 💕
I'm praying for you, Brian. I've admired you and Jessica for quite some time and think both of you are two amazing and genuine humans. Your little girl is adorable, too! I'm vegan and have been for years. I had similar symptoms about a month ago and had a endo , ct and colonoscopy done. Everything came back normal. I still have stomach pains so I'm being looked over by a urologist soon. Thank you for staying positive and not bashing plant based eating. You are so right. You might have had this tumor for a long time.
@@telepathicpenguin Hello! I have not had my gallbladder checked and not really my liver either. They told me I have three cysts on my liver but are not worried about them. They are tiny. I will talk to my dr. about checking the gallbladder. Thanks so much for reaching out. Appreciate you.
I'm so sorry to hear that. But my son had the same thing 5 years ago. He just had the tumor on his kidney. His was found the same way yours was. He had scans for his bowels. But when they came to it they found the tumor. They removed the tumor and is cancer free and still has his kidney. It was a blessing he had the tests for the scans for his intestines because that's how they found it. He is fine now. Some prayers going out your situation turns out like him. His stomach issues cleared up afterwords. So prays to you it works out like his! You guys have been through enough with the cancer scares! Prayers to you guys and hope all turns out well!❤ beautiful little girl by the way!
Brian, I also had a tumor on a kidney and ended up having an ablation to remove it. I have to go every year for an mri.... Wishing you only the best! ❤
This here is what they call Serendipity for something good to happen something bad had to happen. We were in a car accident and my husband was on Coumadin and they did a ct scan on his head to find a Pituitary Tumor. So glad you’re getting checked out and monitored!
Brian, your positive attitude has gotten your through so much and I know it will continue to. I'm keeping you, Jessica and Elsie in my prayers. You guys are amazing. You got this, Brian.❤❤❤

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.
Brian, I am sending up prayers to the Lord that He will bless you according to His plans for you. You and Jessica are both fighters who support each other. I know you can make it through this trial because with God, nothing is impossible! Brian, you are a very good man, and I pray God's greatest blessings upon you!
Most RCC is found incidentally. Mine was found in 2014. RCC with mets to my lungs. After radical nephrectomy and 6 mos immunotherapy, I have been NED for almost 10 years. 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. You got this!

My father-in-law had his kidney removed because he had cancer. He’s still doing great 10 years later.
Praying for you Brian ! I had kidney cancer 4 years ago . I’m ok now .
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.
Light love and prayers
Praying for you Brian! My dad had kidney cancer when he was 69, they had to remove a kidney. He lived to be 91 1/2 cancer free. Wishing the best for you!
Beloved child of God, I am covering you in prayer. No matter what, our almighty God is in control. Love to you & your family!🤍
If you’re in touch with God and he’s in control, perhaps you could ask him why he gives babies cancer ?
@@TheCurlyclubmaybe it's your atheism with science and big pharma, why blame it on God
Bless you Brian, my husband also had kidney cancer which was discovered when he need surgery for an appendicitis
He is doing well, we are now five years post nephrectomy.
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. :)
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!
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 sister-in-law had a kidney removed because of kidney cancer. She did wonderfully. This was many years ago and she does everything she wants in her life. I wish you the very best. Advocate for yourself and get the best treatment possible. My prayers are with you.
I’m a two time cancer survivor…breast (22 years) and Hairy Cell leukemia. Doing well…you will too…Sending you and your family. much strength and love. ❤
Praying for you Brian. God bless you during this latest challenge.
My mom had a kidney removed five years ago in her late 60s and she has been doing great ever since. Praying for you and Jessica and sweet Elsie!
A positive attitude like you have will help you a lot. Prayers for strength and health.
Thank you for letting us know. We love you, Jessica and Elsie. I am praying for you! 🙏🏻 🕊️
I'm 48 years old and I was diagnosed with Papillary renal cell cancer last year. I had a right side nephrectomy last year but I was given the option for a partial refectomy. I decided not to because it would of been a longer surgery and I had decided not to put my body through the additional stress. I was very lucky that I was stage 1a when it was found, Good luck Brian.
You guys can't cut a break. I am sending you lots of healing energy.
My boyfriend found kidney cancer early through a kidney stone X-ray. It was the same kind that took his brother so he is thankful every day for that kidney stone!! They were able to watch it and then did cryoablation when it started getting too big. All the scans over the past few years have been clear thankfully. Sounds like you have a good plan for your situation.
I’m sending prayers your way. I think you guys are such a sweet family!! It’s not kidney cancer, but my Dad had bladder cancer when he was 50. They removed his bladder and ureters and then constructed a new bladder for him. He is in his late nineties now!!
I read ureters as “uterus”!!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️😆🤪
Brian, I know you don't know me, but I'm one of your many cheerleaders for you, Jessica, and Elsie!
You have my love & truest, most sincere prayers!
I'm with ya, I think this is the sign from God saying to continue on your path to teach others! And to not push your own health aside no matter what.
I've been through cervical, pancreatic, and uterine cancer. I finally had my radical hysterectomy, and I felt very alone throughout the process. I have a loving husband and daughter, but none of our parents are alive, and all 4 passed from different cancers. Grandparents, too.
And I'm so overjoyed that you have so many people cheering you on! I know I spent many hours talking to God about Jessica.
I think you're beautiful people, and I appreciate you sharing your life in order to help others!❤
I believe you when you say you'll do everything you can to be healthy. Your daughter is lucky to have a dad who will fight hard to watch her grow up. Best to all of you.
I also had an extra long colon. Every time I had an abdominal X-ray I had Drs and medical students studying my films lol.
Now I also had a large inflammatory polyp that was too awkward to remove, they left it- and it became cancerous. I had my whole colon removed 15 years ago and d subsequently also had cervical cancer.
I’m still here 9 years after my second cancer and am now 63.
Sending you lots and lots of prayers for a speedy and complete recovery xxxxxxxxxxx
I am getting a consult at Mayo in their GI department about my colon and polyp. I'd honestly like to get it removed if possible. I don't trust it.
I had a heart MRI and it found a 7cm mass in my kidney. It was in the cantre so I had my kidney removed. That was 7 years ago and I am living happily with my one and only kidney. There is no treatment other than a nephrectomy. Just about all kidney cancers are found accidentally and thats great because its early before ever you get any real symptoms. We are very lucky to have had these accidental cancer finds. Good luck, you will be fine I am sure ❤
I wish you a fast and speedy recovery cancer free for life 🙏.
My gosh, Brian! I’m so glad you have your faith, Jessica and your beautiful little girl to walk through this with. You will be in my prayers.
Good luck with everything Brian. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayers for healing for you Brian. ❤
Prayers for a complete recovery and praying that they caught it early which it sounds like they did. You’re gonna be fine.
We’re going to pray it’s benign! I was 41 when I was diagnosed with lymphoma, which was caught in a mammogram. Doc said it’s rare for my type of cancer to start in the breast. God’s work, for sure. 10 years later, I’m still in remission…. You’ve got this either way, you can’t go wrong with God by your side! God Bless
My daughter was in a car accident and in the process of checking to make sure all was well they found a tumor on her kidney. They removed it, it was benign but the surgery was rough!! Plan on taking it easy. Will keep you in our prayers
So sorry! Cancer is on the rise since covid. My best friend’s mom (in remission 9 years) now she has turbo cancer, stage 4 breast cancer. We are devastated! 💔
I had a minor health scare and boy does that get you to tighten up the way you live your life. I wish you well. Let us know when you are having the surgery so that we can pray for you and your family.
I’m sorry you are going thru these troubles! I like you so much and it’s because your demeanor is so gentle and genuine. One stray a time my friend. I’m a cancer survivor. 😘
Sorry to hear about you possibly having kidney cancer. In 2008 at the age of 49, my husband had a partial nephrectomy due to kidney cancer. He's had no recurrence or kidney issues since praise God! Praying for a wonderful outcome for you as well!
Praying for you and your family Brian. Hang in there 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I certainly hope not, you two have been through enough
Wow oh wow Brian. I'm so sorry that you even have to have that word in your life anymore!!! I'm so glad they found this NOW though. A friend of ours had the same. Cancerous mass on his kidney. It was removed so many years ago that I can't remember. He felt good as new functioning with one kidney. Prayers for you and Jessica.
Brian, I was diagnosed with early stage Endometrial cancer back in 2017. My treatment was surgery alone. Like you, neither chemotherapy nor radiation were needed! I'm so grateful to God. You are in my prayers for a complete recovery!
Checked back it to see if there was an update. Hoping they are both taking this time to get healthy and enjoying family time. ❤
Praying! You are a strong and courageous man! We are cheering you on from Minneapolis. We love you all.
I had a kidney removed in 2007, and I've done excellent with just one. God bless you on this journey. Jeremiah 29:11.
Brian, I have one kidney (donated to my daughter) and Ive been living with just one since 2005!
God does work in mysterious ways. Prayers for you and your family.
Brian, thank you for the update. I am sorry to hear this but you are upbeat and I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sending prayers your way🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your daughter is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I don't know what to say. We are all suffering from cancer these days, if not, we will be. The most we can do is LIVE EVERY MINUTE and be positive. You have so much love around you, soak it up. Life is a fickle journey, there are many more roads for you to travel here and there. Sending much love to your and your family.
Had my kidney removed 12 years ago for renal cell carcinoma. That was my start of my wfpb diet. After lots of anxiety and worry during all my years of ct survellance; Cancer strangely enough ended up being a blessing for ME. I don’t think I would be in the health that I am today.
Prayers to you Brian. I had cancer and my husband got cancer two years later. Both of us in our 60’s. Good luck! All will go well I am sure you are at the best hospital. Cancer survivor Kathy Erie pa
May God bless you and your husband 🙏🏼
Brian, In my Thoughts and Prayers. Jessica and Elsie need you to be better. I'm glad you listened to your body. I'm getting ready as I watch for a Dr appt. Take all things possible to help yourself. ❤️🙏🏼
Goodness. Sending up prayers!
I am so sorry Brian. I had kidney cancer, they took out 1/2 of my kidney, they did it robotically, because the year before I had open heart surgery the year before and my Dr didn't want me to go through more major surgery. Sending prayers for you. 🙏🙏
No weapon formed against you will prosper! By His stripes you are healed. Speak life and truth over your situation. Love you guys so much.
Improper interpretation of the verse. Faithful Christians get sick, suffer, and even die young all the time.
Oh yeeesh! Please keep us updated! I’m so glad it’s been found early so you can get it taken care of. ❤
Prayers for your family. It’s a real challenge to be dealing with this yourself now. Sounds like that ER trip saved your life. God is watching over you guys.
My father in law had kidney cancer and his kidney removed over 50 years ago and loved for over 40 years longer. It’s a good thing you’re plant based because because too much animal protein is not good for kidneys! Good luck!
Good for you going to mayo. I am 🙏 sorry. May the good doctors and family and faith get you through.
Brian, so sorry to hear that you may have cancer. I am praying for you and Jessica. Thank you for sharing your story and for sharing the picture of Elsie! She is so cute!
I'm keeping you and your lovely family in my thoughts and prayers. Whatever is going on with you, I wish you the best for treatment and recovery.
Prayers for you Brian. Thank you for being transparent. You & Jessica have definitely been through some major tests! Thankful you have a relationship with God to help you through this! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Prayers ascending for you and your entire family, and for your care team. Sending you hugs for strength and courage. God is walking with you.
My prayers are with both you and Jessica as you journey forward together with this new threat of cancer. May God's favor bless your sweet family. I believe in my heart that God's healing hand is upon you Brian... you are all in my prayers! From the ♥, Vicki in Virginia
I'll be sending good vibes that you're part of the 15% that this isn't cancer. If it is, I'm glad you've caught it early and are taking care if it now. I can't believe the couple of years you and Jessica have had. From the lowest low (cancer) to the highest high (the birth of Elsie). God bless you both (and Elsie, too).
Many of my patients have had this and did well !! Prayers
Sending up prayers for your whole family 🙏🏻🙏🏻
My sister-in-law had her tumor removed but it came back and so she had another surgery to remove the kidney. Other than a slightly restricted diet, she’s had no life changes from it. Thank you Lord that your cancer was found.God did the same for me with uterine cancer and I never had to go through treatment. I became a healthier vegan and lost a bunch of weight after my cancer diagnosis. I’m so grateful. Obesity is causing so much cancer. We need you guys to keep encouraging this lifestyle. You will be in our prayers. 💕
I'm praying for you, Brian. I've admired you and Jessica for quite some time and think both of you are two amazing and genuine humans. Your little girl is adorable, too! I'm vegan and have been for years. I had similar symptoms about a month ago and had a endo , ct and colonoscopy done. Everything came back normal. I still have stomach pains so I'm being looked over by a urologist soon. Thank you for staying positive and not bashing plant based eating. You are so right. You might have had this tumor for a long time.
Praying that you get answers as to what is causing you stomach pain 🙏🏼
@@kimkelly9046 Thank you kindly.
Have you had your liver and gallbladder checked? It could be stones or sludge! There are ways to clear it without removing the gallbladder.
@@telepathicpenguin Hello! I have not had my gallbladder checked and not really my liver either. They told me I have three cysts on my liver but are not worried about them. They are tiny. I will talk to my dr. about checking the gallbladder. Thanks so much for reaching out. Appreciate you.
I'm so sorry to hear that. But my son had the same thing 5 years ago. He just had the tumor on his kidney. His was found the same way yours was. He had scans for his bowels. But when they came to it they found the tumor. They removed the tumor and is cancer free and still has his kidney. It was a blessing he had the tests for the scans for his intestines because that's how they found it. He is fine now. Some prayers going out your situation turns out like him. His stomach issues cleared up afterwords. So prays to you it works out like his! You guys have been through enough with the cancer scares! Prayers to you guys and hope all turns out well!❤ beautiful little girl by the way!
Brian, I also had a tumor on a kidney and ended up having an ablation to remove it. I have to go every year for an mri.... Wishing you only the best! ❤
Brian, I hate this news, but I believe you will come through this. You have your faith and your supportive wife and family. You'll be in my prayers!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. My sister had kidney cancer three years ago. God is with you.❤
This here is what they call Serendipity for something good to happen something bad had to happen. We were in a car accident and my husband was on Coumadin and they did a ct scan on his head to find a Pituitary Tumor. So glad you’re getting checked out and monitored!
oh dear;//// stay calm and carry on. Will be sending you prayers, Jill
Brian, your positive attitude has gotten your through so much and I know it will continue to. I'm keeping you, Jessica and Elsie in my prayers. You guys are amazing. You got this, Brian.❤❤❤
