My tumour was found accidentally after usual blood test (too many red cells) My tumour its 10x8.4x8.4 . They told me only my tumour its inside and i dont have any other sign to spread anywhere. i already had my preop assesment and on 11.07 next month i will have radical neph. right kidney. My doctor said will be keyhole but if complications appear will open me . Im lost at this point ,i dont know what stage is my cancer i dont know if they will remove my adrenal gland. To be onest im scared to death . They told me after surgery i will not need any treatment i will be cured because its contained inside. But surgery itself scare me . I had make a big big mistake to look online for pictures how look this surgery and now i had very bad dreams. I think i will try to enjoy my last days of normal life.
Hello, I hope you're ok. I'm 43, was incidentally diagnosed due to a routine USS on 14th April. Left kidney tumour. Had a radical full nephrectomy on Friday morning 21/6, I'm doing ok, very swollen, pain not too bad. Scar where kidney removed hurts more than the laparoscopic areas. But it look like a fair old slice hence the discomfort x
At my 2nd appt back in May they told me I'd more than likely be a T2 ( no spread, contained in left kidney 8cm diameter tumour) he said there were no complications during surgery on Friday and all Removed. Try not to worry, easier said than done, I'm still worrying only because you don't want to get an infection or hernia in the abdomen area which can be common. But I keep walking around the house , snoozing etc... so rest rest rest !! Still getting used to injecting myself even though I'm 4 days in., when 6pm comes I'm like a child.. I don't like doing it but needs must, 23 days to go!! 
.
is anyone else's abdomen swollen after surgery post 4 days? X
take care megdrim, here if you need to chat x
I can sit, but only for 15 mins max as abdo starts to ache. I look at my phone instagram/tiktok food things .. keeps my mind occupied x
mom not sleeping very well , a few hours then I wake, can't get out of bed without assistance though at the moment so my husband gets me up every Time I need a wee! 
When you're normally an independent person this is not good. But slowly but surely it'll all be ok.
