After losing weight:
The woman, Cynara Stalenhoef, found a protein in her husband's urine during regular body tests in May 2015 and was diagnosed with nodular sclerosis. She weighed 108.9 kilograms at that time.
That night Matt went to see a general practitioner. The general practitioner gave him a blood test and showed that his kidney was like that of a 70, 80-year-old.
Matt was supposed to work at the mine this morning, Cynara said, but the doctor said: "I'm almost going to put you in an ambulance."
In addition to kidney disease accidents, other results are also worrying. Ultrasound revealed that the tumor had spread all over his body. However, the main distribution is in the kidney, and some in the brain and skin.
Cynara says she wants to donate a kidney to her husband, but doctors think she's overweight.
"the doctor told me I couldn't save anyone in my family because I was so fond of cake," Cynara said.
However, brave Cynara single-minded want to save their husband, in front of death, weight loss fear, say do it!
In 2016, the family decided to use alternative treatments for Matt's illness and temporarily avoid surgery, giving Cynara time to prepare for weight loss.
She had stomach cuff surgery, changed her diet, and a month after the surgery, she started walking every day and working with the coach to start a weight-loss program. Her exercise schedule includes functional training, such as combat rope and high intensity exercise.
The operation was performed in February 2016.
Participated in training camp in May 2016.
The first 5000 meters were run in September 2016.
The first 10,000 meters were run in March 2017.
The first half marathon was run in September 2017.
First time participating in Ultra. in March 2018
In May 2018, we're going to participate in the 80,000-meter Ultra called Rapid Accent's MargaretRiver.
During this time, Matt's alternative treatment suppressed tumors in his kidneys, and even reduced some of them.
But the couple still have to wait for a kidney transplant.
Cynara said the husband's kidney function was 28 percent. If you have an operation, it should be between 15% and 20%. "We are waiting for his kidney function to decline." But they were afraid that the tumor would turn out to be cancerous.
Some doctors think nodular sclerosing tumors are just cancerous, but pathologists don't. If there is a cancer, Matt will be on dialysis for two years before other action can be taken.
While not able to give her husband change kidney, for the time being, Cynara's weight loss, and the family's optimism, touched everyone.
In an interview with television, her husband, Matt, was affectionately grateful to his wife for what he had done on television.
Cynara tracks his progress, his fitness goals, and her husband's health on Facebook and Ins's & # 39 the Shrinking Wife'.
Really touching, I hope his wife's pay, can let him recover as soon as possible!
