Episode 4: You Have a Mass on Your Kidney (Jamie's Story Part 3)

In this episode, Jamie and Christy talk about how things went from bad to worse in 2021 when Jamie found out he had a mass on his kidney. He subsequently underwent major surgery to remove the mass, which turned out to be clear cell carcinoma. As if that wasn't enough... shortly after the surgery, Jamie got COVID, and THEN was hospitalized again due to an internal bleed (a rare complication to the surgery).
After all of that, in early 2022, their luck turned around, and Jamie and Christy found hope at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. They discuss their time at Mayo, and how Dr. Savica, the leading expert on YOPD in the United States, changed their outlook on life with Parkinson's.
After going to the Mayo Clinic in February, Jamie went on to complete an Ironman 70.3 at the beginning of April of 2022, a mere 3 months after having major abdominal surgery.
