In brief

Nicole Albor tells the story of her husband, Todd Allebach, whose back pain was first blamed on a disc problem before scans found cancer in his spine and, later, a small tumor on his kidney. Genetic counseling then led to an HLRCC diagnosis. Nicole writes about caring for Todd and their young children, and about pushing for more kidney cancer research.
