Young Mother Travels 1,400 Miles for Kidney Treatment

Andrea lives in Venezuela and is a busy wife and mother of two young boys. After being diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma at the age of 36, Andrea's only option in Venezuela was to get her entire kidney removed. However, after Andrea traveled 1,400 miles to Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital for a second opinion with Dr. Pieretti, she was able to find a different treatment path. Dr. Alberto Pieretti joins us on the podcast to talk about this special story.
