Here's one: My hubby had kidney failure, I offered to be a donor… and they tested me ..I came out to be a perfect match so the process went on. I pondered all the risks of this surgery had some doubts about it but, marched forward with it. Thro the testing they found a bacteria in my stomach that can cause stomach cancer, they found skin cancer, they found the kind of polyps that turn cancerous…the final test ahhh when they found stage two cancer of the Kidney…yep the Kidney…well, I still donated and they cleaned the kidney free of the cancer…his life and my life was spared because I offered to donate…the greatest opportunity I will ever have I suppose…they said I would of had about 36 months to live if they had not caught it..Kidney cancer is a silent killer until stage 4..
