New here. Hello

Should say have recently....sorry

Keep with the positive attitude!  I hope you don't wait too long for a date.  

Thankyou so much. Its great to know there are others out there going through the same journy

Good luck with this. Plenty of people in this forum have had partial or radical nephrectomies and are living quite happily. Please let us know how you are getting on.

I find each day a bit of a struggle to be honest. Just want to get the op over and done with. I already suffer from chronic anxiety so as you can imagine this diagnosis has made it worse. Then there's the guilt of feeling so sorry for myself when there are so many people in a worse situation than me.

Its just a case of getting through every day. 

Keep in touch with the Consultant's secretary. They manage the schedule. You might get a better idea of the likely timeline and you wont get forgotten.

It’s never easy but the fact you can have robotic assisted surgery is such a positive . It’s been a week since I had the same surgery , I’m 69 and was discharged on day 2 and making progress since . So take heart, if my old body coped with it you will be in an even better position. You are quite right to count your blessings , so many people don’t have the luxury we have both had , surgery that will cure you . This forum was very helpful for me and I hope it will be for you. Best wishes and keep us all informed if you can .
