I had my right kidney removed this week and got my pathology back. I had a 4 cm mass that was rcc. The margins were clear so it was stage 1. I had pulmonary embolism 15months ago a nd thats when the renal cyst was found. I had to maneuver myself through a wide variety of doctors. It was only after my next pulmonary embolism in feb that I started to get some action. Even then it was the 4 th urologist that ive seen that really felt the kidney needed to come out. Hopefully I will not have any more pe's now that the cancer is out.

" I'm so pleased for you that the surgery is behind you and that it was a stage 1.

Your post is a good reminder that one needs to be proactive in health matters and, if not satisfied, to seek a second, even third opinion.

I hope that you will recover quickly and will not have any more pe.
Take care "

" That is such good news that the surgery is past you and I also pray you have no more pe's. This is such a great group and I know they helped me last year when I had a part of my left kidney removed due to cancer.

Let us know how you are doing.
