When I was in my late 20’a a doctor told me I had kidney cancer. Something in his body language told me to seek another opinion. I was perfectly healthy. I have no idea what he was up to and I never went back.

Some types of chemotherapy carry a risk of liver damage. Other types can themselves cause cancer.

Mine was confirmed by 4 Doc’s and my own review of the scans.
