Surgery seemed to have helped at this point. We were told that they have removed all of the tumor from the vena cava and the heart and the kidney was removed along with the lymph nodes and adrenal gland.

It will be 4 years post-op on 12/9/08 and have not had any other issues.

So far, so good.

Kidney removed in 1990. He was cancer free until July 2008

my tumor was removed laproscopy. I am still in a little pain across back and abdomen. The pain in the shoulders was the worse I was told this is where the gas escapes when they fill you up with gas. The doctor said he got it all.

It removed the tumor

I Lost my left kidney afew year,s ago due to chronic pylonephritus,i,d had a stone as a kid which they removed,saving the kidney,then i had nothink but trouble with the kidney and it had to be removedmi felt great after the op,but sadly i developed more problems and now find i have a tumour and am awaiting a partial nephrectomy i hope!

Partial Right Nephrectomy. I was up an playing Soccer for my team in 1 month. Surgery wan't too bad but the emotional roller coster has been a nightmare. I am trying to just "Let go and Let GOD". I'm not to good at giving up control.
