Our virtual Advocacy Days are an easy opportunity to make your voice heard on Capitol Hill. Check out our current map of delegates! 💚If your state is green, that means we have NO advocates representing your state. We need you! 🧡 If your state is orange, that means we have SOME advocates for your state, but more voices = more impact! It helps a LOT when we have several people in each meeting. So whether your state is already represented or still needs advocates, we need YOU! Join us in the fight for increased #KidneyCancer research funding. 🔗 Sign up now! https://lnkd.in/eWbbYmEp #AcceleratingCures

After receiving a #KidneyCancer diagnosis, one of the first steps your doctors will take is to determine the stage of your cancer. This helps guide treatment decisions and gives you a clearer picture of what to expect. Knowledge is power -- understanding the stage of your cancer can help you make informed decisions about your care.
