Mariah Heck

In May, Mariah got injured in a fall. Later in the year, after getting an MRI for a broken tailbone, doctors discovered a tumor in her right kidney. Surgery to remove the tumor is set for December 31. So far there is no lymph node interaction and it is only one tumor. They cannot do laparoscopic surgery because of its precarious location and will do a biopsy after removal. In hospital for 3-5 days and recovery is expected to be 8 weeks.
