I underwent a routine urological check-up and found a vague grow no_marth in my right kidney after ultrasound scan evaluation. On further evaluation by doctors, it was found to be a rare form of kidney cancer called Synovial Sarcoma. During the surgery, the tumour appeared cancerous and was removed. I am thankful for the team which included a Pathologist and Oncologist to walk me through this tough time.
