John was diagnosed with cancer in October of 2016. He was having tremendous pain in his left shoulder so his doctor sent him for a cat scan. We expected that they would find a torn rotator cuff but instead they found a tumor. The tumor was biopsied and it was determined to be renal cell carcinoma. They then did an ultrasound and found a large tumor in his left Kidney. His left kidney was removed on December 7, 2016.  That was the beginning of his war with this monster that has invaded.
