Hi Everyone,
l’m new here. Diagnosed in February with a left kidney tumour stage 2. Having a radical nephrectomy on this Friday 10th. Nervous but want it over with after eight weeks waiting. Terrible shock but luckily it hasn’t spread. Best wishes to all. X
The waiting is horrible isn’t it? Hope all goes well tomorrow, Stars2shine.
Yes take care and hope it goes well. I found my fitness before op let me do a bit too much exercise in the first weeks following the op and it took me 5/6 weeks to learn to listen to my body better and just STOP. So my point is; hope you're better at listening to your body than me! But also, like I said, really hope it all goes well, it's a lot to process before and after
Hi All, had radical nephrectomy one week ago today. Larger laparoscopic incision very sore and painful initially but getting better every day.One night stay in hospital but I was sent home with no pain relief only had Paracetamol at home as unable to use anti-inflammatories now. Creatinine's was high but now has levelled out. Really great to be able to sleep on both sides again! Could not sleep on my back for long!
Good thing I have noticed is not having to get up 4-5 times in the night to pass urine!!
Best wishes to all. X
Oh yes, I had forgotten the sleeping on my back! Glad to hear your creatinine has levelled out and that your incision is improving.
Dear Stars2shine wishing you all the best in your recovery xx
Really pleased to hear your positivity. Fingers crossed for the rest of the healing process.
Wow one night in hospital ! You’re a superstar and very tough. Take care x
