Hi guys I had my first operation on Thursday went OK slightly sore yesterday. More sore today and low in mood. Spoke to consultant before op asked if I'd had my operation date for tumor removal wants me in ASAP. Now I'm worried sick I shouldn't Google things. Any advice please is it as bad as I'm reading my next op is partial nephrectomy. Thanks hope all OK as can be xxx

  • Hi there Busybee, l must admit that l have not had an operation for my kidney as it is inoperable. BUT l learnt at an early stage that googling stuff and looking at the information can lead you up the garden path. I am speaking in general terms of course but even information purportedly coming from NHS sources can not be relied upon. Speak to your Oncologist or nurse, they are far more reliable and empathetic. Above all trust your consultant and above all stay strong. I wish you well. Adrian

  • Hi Busybee,

    What op have your already had, I had my left kidney and spleen remove by open surgery, will you be having your right or left part kidney taken out and what sort of op are you having, not sure what you wanted to know, but Adrian is right you should speak to your oncologist or nurses if you want information on it

    Hope everything goes well for you keep safe

  • Hi Sandra I had bladder stretch to try reduce infections as consultant said may cause more problems when having tumor removed what I don't know. It's my right kidney my tumor is on.
