Just wanted to say I attended this event on Sat. Kudos to everyone involved in putting this together. It was outstanding! Every one of the speakers provided useful and informative information that was presented in a clear easy to understand fashion. Hope you will do this again and hopefully it will inspire other centers to do the same thing.
Rob so sorry I didn’t see your comment until now. Are you on any of the patient support sites like Smart Patients http://www.smartpatients. com (sign up for the kidney cancer group) or one of the KcCure groups? https://kccure.org/kidney-cancer-patient-support-communities/ Think you will find some great connections there. Wishing you well.
