Steve: taking action against kidney cancer
Steve has been diagnosed with kidney cancer twice. After initial success with a nephrectomy, his cancer returned in January 2018. This time, his doctor said there was no treatment available. “He advised I would probably be put on life-extending drugs,” Steve says. “I asked how long they would last, and he said maybe four years.”
Steve was scared to think that he might not be there for his family. He learned about an alternative treatment option and today, he is in long-term remission.
During his illness, Steve found support from groups like Action Kidney Cancer. He now works as group counselor to support others.
“I wouldn’t be here today without the research,” he says. “It gives me the opportunity to be with my children, my wife, my family, as we grow.”
