Hi all I’m Helen (aka H), 55 yrs
I was diagnosed around 8 weeks ago by a phone call and three weeks ago underwent a 5 hour op to remove a tumour they tell me they’re 80% sure will come back as malignant, along with half my kidney. Ten days later I was rushed into emergency surgery with internal bleeding so am currently trying to contend with the 8 wounds from the robotic surgery and the emergency surgery and metal coils on my blood vessels too.
My tum now feels so sore inside, is extremely swollen and the stitches are pulling too. Any similar experiences? Thanks so much
