How One Survivor 'Keeps On Keeping On'

Author(s):

In this week’s episode, we spoke with a patient advocate and survivor of renal cell carcinoma to help raise awareness during Kidney Cancer Awareness month.

After a routine physical led to his kidney cancer diagnosis, one patient advocate and survivor has cherished every day he’s had with his family and uses this as motivation to help raise awareness during Kidney Cancer Awareness month.

“Renal cell carcinoma is like a phantom in your body,” said Ed, who was treated as part of a clinical trial at Fox Chase Cancer Center after he had exhausted all other surgical options.

Now in remission, Ed has one piece of advice for others facing this diagnosis: Keep on keeping on.
