Hi

I’m 7 weeks post op following a radical nephrectomy on my left kidney which had a 11 cm mass.  I had my follow up last week and was told it was chromophobe renal cancer which was completely removed so no further treatment needed. I’m hugely relieved. My surgery was laparoscopic and whilst the scars are healing well I’m still a little swollen and the nerve endings around are really hypersensitive. I’m moving well and go for walks but I find any fitted clothing really uncomfortable. I’ve asked my GP and he thinks this will settle down soon. I was due to return to work next week but although I’ve a desk job I don’t think I could sit comfortably for long. Has anyone experienced similar who is further down the line?
