In search of like minded individuals

[Blackbart62]

Hello, Removal of one kidney came as a complete surprise this past spring due to cancer. Now the other kidney is not doing well. Currently in stage 3b. I am a Catholic, I believe in the Lord's healing but also know science and management of a chronic condition is important. I am looking for like minded individuals to continue on this journey.

My mum also had a nephrectomy 7.5y ago for the same reason. Some 8m ago I called out to others with a single kidney as my extensive scientific research suggested that there are significant CKD differences for that healthunlocked.com/nkf-ckd/...

To save space and time on here, I included a blog on the subject which included significant scientific evidence to underpin its key points but unfortunately it was subsequently removed from the above post by an administrator.

I am a Christian and believe in the Lord's ability to heal. I have both kidneys but am dealing with metastatic breast cancer. There is a chat feature if you ever want to use it. God be with you.

That's my story also!! Lost right kidney with a tumor & now left one CKD stage 3. I am at my one year mark. True believer in the blessings I was given to find the tumor early.

Amen on the blessings. So, have you changed your diet? or what are you doing?

Yes, it all scared me initially. But like so many I hear, my nephrologist mainly said no salt, don't eat out and drink more water. He also said "See you in a year". I was like.. does this mean I'm doing well or there's nothing else I can do for you? I went with my first thought.

I've had lots of things happen in life I wouldn't wish on anyone. People would say God only gives you what you can handle. I've yelled back "I'm tired, pick someone else, I've had my share". But I always regroup and remember "With you (God), nothing is impossible". I have realized I am just a servant here. It's the little things...a letter that I received from a stranger in the next room when she heard my baby had died; and several years later..lying in the hospital late at night and sharing a story with a nurse about raising my son and his military life; the student nurse who wanted to learn on me how to take care of a tracheostomy patient.

Life is challenging no doubt! I offer my blessings to you!!
