Hi there
My husband had renal cancer diagnosed in May this year and found to have spread to his vena cava and unfortunately a blood clot. Tumour very large so under two teams urology and cardiology.
Had to be on blood thinners and then. Operation was July 20th. He's got a scar from near his throat to down to past belly button.
He was discharged from hospital after 7 days despite a 12 hour operation which included being on bypass.
We had no information about how he would be after the operation except small booklet from cardiology.
Hes been so unwell and very weak and no appetite. Hes had an issue with his scar large haematoma that has bled. Like he had been shot. (Sorry if graphic) wouldn't stop went to open access surgical unit and they said yes it's normal it will happen could be for weeks. Off you go home.
I've done a self referral to District nurses and they came today and really helpful.
We had lots of help prior to operation. But feel totally abandoned by hospital now.
No referral to any cancer specialist. And follow up with surgeons in 6 weeks time.
Sorry for long post.
Couple of questions.
Anyone else had dual surgery. ?
How long did it take to start feeling a little bit better after operation? And any advice ?
Anyone have experience of haematoma under scar?
Many thanks
Thank you. He was quite well when he came out of hospital but seems to be not well now. All his obs are ok.
Just so hard to see him so unwell . Fingers crossed 
he improves slowly
