Yes I wanted to get some information about kidney cancer I know my doctor same blood in the urine and I know it's not always cancer but I was trying to find out a little bit more information since I'm living around the most dumb doctors probably in the whole United States about pain and I know everybody body is not the same and it comes to pain but if somebody have kidney cancer and again everybody's pain different would they have pain like in their stomach the belly
Cuz that's kind of what I'm feeling not severe pain or anything like that because somebody said when somebody have cancer during some serious pain mine's is not paying where I need medication or anything is just some type of pressure I guess I'm feeling there because my doctor touched that area and asked me was I any pain so that's what kind of got me a little scared there
