my wife was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2010. At this time it was unfortunately metastatic. Her kidneys eventually became blocked by disease. Dr Micheli did a procedure to fix her kidneys which prolonged her life. The other doctors didnt want to do the procedure because they said it wouldnt help. However, because her kidneys werent blocked my wife was able to survive long enough to say to family members that lived far away. The extra couple of months made a world of difference and helped our family say goodbye.
