I had a low grade tumour with no spread at the time. I suddenly developed pain on my right lower side a round the nephrectomy site and a bit lower a couple of days ago. Has anyone experienced this, I wonder if I am over anxious about it?
During a scan for a bladder problem it was discovered I have kidney cancer as well. The bladder problem has been resolved and I was given an appointment to see a surgeon to discuss it. Last year I have had 2 heart problems resolved by inserting stents...

Hello everyone, I wondered if there was anyone who has had this issue and what they did to minimise it.... I had an open radical nephrectomy 8 weeks ago and was, thankfully, given the "All clear" last week. I am overwhelmingly grateful to the surgeons...
