“It’s a hidden thing, kidney cancer. It doesn’t really cause pain. You’d never know you had it.”

Three surgeons and a team of nurses participated in a 10 to 12 hour surgery to remove a kidney tumor that was blocking blow flow in Richard Bernstein's abdomen.This March, Richard Bernstein’s leg became swollen. For about five years, he had experienced right toe pain and wondered if it was related to that. At the same time, he noticed a bump in his abdomen and thought maybe he had a hernia. But he soon learned it was something much more serious.

“His belly was flat,” he explained. “He didn’t have any symptoms of severe intra-abdominal venous pressure.” As Bernstein waited for the doctors to plan his surgery, his health dramatically worsened as the blood began pooling in his abdomen. “It was scary because of the unknown,” Bernstein said. “ was a little surprising for me because I’ve been working out since I was 25 years old. I thought that was a little unusual.”

The lessened blood flow made it easier for the Dr. Alfio Carroccio and Grasso to work later to remove the tumor.
