Kidney Cancer Unfiltered returns for season 4 with host Annamaria Scaccia. In our season opener, survivor Maritza Giordano shares the emotional rollercoaster of her kidney cancer diagnosis — including how one misinformed phone call left her believing she was being scheduled for chemo and radiation. The truth? It was a mix-up about genetic testing. Joined by her surgeon, Dr. Suzanne Merrill of Colorado Urology, the two dive into how medical miscommunication and misinformation can deeply impact a patient’s journey — and how to advocate for yourself through it all.
