Obesity is just an added risk, especially with regards to kidney function. If one kidney is removed ,the other will be doing more work so functioning might be affected. More so if obesity is an issue.

When they find it early, it's usually because they're looking for something else. He had his kidney removed. No radiation or chemo or anything and he's been fine ever since. He had a worse time recovering from his crash!

[@WisconsinFruGAL]

Brian - your symptoms with the extreme gas, pain in the colon (especially if it's in the lower left area of lower abdomen) and chills/fever all sound identical to hubby's diverticulitis. "A colonoscopy is generally considered safe, but there is a small risk of complications, including the potential to exacerbate existing diverticular disease." You may have the condition and the colonoscopy exacerbated the diverticulitis when you got home from the procedure. If you do indeed have the condition, is it is manageable by avoiding things like seeds, kernels, etc. which get stuck in the "pocket" -- Please know we are praying for you during the biopsy and subsequent treatments.

I was supposed to have a colonoscopy at one point, but I became pregnant, so it was put off again. I always had severe stomach pain before going to the bathroom. When I finally had my scope in 2015, 3 polyps were removed. I had 2 types of cancer. One was slow growing and the other more aggressive. I ended up having major surgery to remove my entire rectum and prior to that they did a bunch of scans to make sure it didn't spread. I didn't need to have chemo or radiation either with mine, because it was found on time. It seems like things are happening younger and younger these days! My son just had a colonoscopy Friday and he's 24. He was diagnosed with ulcerative proctitis.

I was vegetarian for 10 years. I understand the ethical thoughts behind not eating meat. Recently however I've discovered that a plant-based diet is actually terrible for us. Pesticides are only the tip of it. Our guts can't actually break down plant celluose very well (it's why we can't eat grass) so while spinach is full of iron, we can't access the iron easily because we can't break down the tissue easily. But plants also contain defence chemicals, these include lectins and oxaltes. Have a read about what they do to the body. Oxalates are essentially tiny crystals which form into kidney stones. Your sad news here should be waving a red flag about what you are eating. Have a listen to Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Anthony Chaffee. And I wish you good luck.

Your daughter is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I don't know what to say. We are all suffering from cancer these days, if not, we will be. The most we can do is LIVE EVERY MINUTE and be positive. You have so much love around you, soak it up. Life is a fickle journey, there are many more roads for you to travel here and there. Sending much love to your and your family.

Brian, Im so glad to hear you say you believe in God. God is an AWESOME God! You'll be fine, He's on your side. Prayers out there for you. Best wishes.

Hello, my Munich Friends. My husband and I will hold you and your beautiful family in our Prayers. May Our Heavenly Father's Healing Hands be on you always. By His stripes we are healed and we are clinging to that promise for you. God be with you guys always.

I love Mayo in Rochester. 16 yrs ago I had 10 % of my kidney taken. I have CKD, so I thought it would be best to hang onto as much as I could, not knowing if something would go wrong with my other kidney. Anyway, God bless you as you go through this hiccup! By the way, my surgeon was Dr. Chow.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

I can neither confirm nor deny that Dr. Chow is my doctor. 😁

Prayers for your family. It’s a real challenge to be dealing with this yourself now. Sounds like that ER trip saved your life. God is watching over you guys.

[@juneweaver8021]

Praying for you Brian. God bless you during this latest challenge.

[@beekind1940]

Prayers ascending for you and your entire family, and for your care team. Sending you hugs for strength and courage. God is walking with you.

My mom has a tumor on her kidney and it was not cancer and the recommendation was just leave it alone. She lived a long life. Sending prayers and hugs.

It was probably a cyst(liquid filled) versus a cancerous nodule

Brian, I was diagnosed with early stage Endometrial cancer back in 2017. My treatment was surgery alone. Like you, neither chemotherapy nor radiation were needed! I'm so grateful to God. You are in my prayers for a complete recovery!

[@northyland1157]

I had kidney cancer 2 year and 3 months ago. They removed my right kidney. No chemo, no Radiation. My 2 year check up went great! I'm actually walking up big hills in my neighborhood every day to stay in shape. Good Luck to you!

[@sheilawaldman4976]

Praying! You are a strong and courageous man! We are cheering you on from Minneapolis. We love you all.

[@Maryculligan]

Blessing. Prayers. Excellent video. TY for the details. ❤

[@barbaramassey3787]

Wonderful that the doctor at Mayo Clinic was well informed about plant based life style. So many in the medical profession know very little about nutrition and the negative impact of the standard American diet. ❤❤❤

[@selecttravelvacations7472]

Most were trained with the “Food Pyramid” info and that was about it.

My sister-in-law had her tumor removed but it came back and so she had another surgery to remove the kidney. Other than a slightly restricted diet, she’s had no life changes from it. Thank you Lord that your cancer was found.God did the same for me with uterine cancer and I never had to go through treatment. I became a healthier vegan and lost a bunch of weight after my cancer diagnosis. I’m so grateful. Obesity is causing so much cancer. We need you guys to keep encouraging this lifestyle. You will be in our prayers. 💕

Good for you going to mayo. I am 🙏 sorry. May the good doctors and family and faith get you through.

[@justjo1711]

Wow, I'm so sorry. My husband was 55 when they discovered his kidney cancer (through a simple urinalysis that showed a minuscule amount of blood in it for two years in a row). They removed the kidney 23 years ago. He is now 78 and has never had any issues with having one kidney. Best of luck to you. I have a feeling you will be fine.

[@jillglass4914]

oh dear;//// stay calm and carry on. Will be sending you prayers, Jill

[@dianenaylor2104]

Oh yeeesh! Please keep us updated! I’m so glad it’s been found early so you can get it taken care of. ❤

[@tomnewhouse7782]

Prayers to you Brian. I had cancer and my husband got cancer two years later. Both of us in our 60’s. Good luck! All will go well I am sure you are at the best hospital. Cancer survivor Kathy Erie pa

May God bless you and your husband 🙏🏼

[@johnsgirl62]

Your trip to the ER and CT Scan were truly a blessing! My husband had renal cell cancer and a nephrectomy in 2010. He has been cancer free and doing fine with only one kidney. You are loved and so is Jessica. Thank you for sharing. You are in our prayers! 💕

[@janhankins911]

I'll be sending good vibes that you're part of the 15% that this isn't cancer. If it is, I'm glad you've caught it early and are taking care if it now. I can't believe the couple of years you and Jessica have had. From the lowest low (cancer) to the highest high (the birth of Elsie). God bless you both (and Elsie, too).

[@Rosa-kf6yy]

P.S. Elsie is BEAUTIFUL. :)
