    Diagnosed

    Oh No

    Started getting tired at work, also had a chronic cough that would not go away ... Doc started treating me with antibiotics for cough, didn't work, changed to a different med, still didn't work. Finally after 6 weeks of going downhill, losing a pound a day, he ordered a CT scan. Saw spots and sent me to a Urologist in Houston at Methodist Hosp. Dr immediately stated I had kidney cancer and that the kidney had to be removed immediately ...
