Tracy shares their experiences from a caregiver perspective and emphasizes the importance of having a second set of ears and caregiver mental health. After Julie`s surgery, Tracy and Julie decided to move to Ohio, where they could access world-class hospital systems for Julie`s care.

This week, KidneyCAN advocates are on Capitol Hill meeting with members of Congress to ask for increased funding for #kidneycancer research.
We believe that patient advocacy and engagement are essential in advancing research and treatments.
As patients and survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals and researchers, we are uniquely positioned to speak to the impact of this disease on our lives, and the need for robust funding for cancer research. That’s why we’re urging Congress to provide $60 million for the CDMRP Kidney Cancer Research Program.
We also believe that the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute are critical in advancing #medicalresearch. That’s why we’re urging Congress to provide $50.9 billion for the NIH, including $9.988 billion for the NCI.
Additionally, we’re advocating for long-term #telehealth legislation to ensure patients have access to care regardless of location. Telehealth is especially important for #cancer patients who need consistent monitoring and specialized care.
Finally, at KidneyCAN, we believe incorporating the #patientvoice on legislative policy matters is essential in #acceleratingcures and improving outcomes. We urge Congress to listen to the patient`s voice on matters of health care legislation.
We are committed to advocating for robust funding for medical research and advancing policies that promote clinical trial development and diversity in enrollment.
Join us in advocating for a brighter future for kidney cancer patients and survivors!
