Treatment and recovery was painful, but so far it seems effective.

worked so far. very tired, no appetite and weak still.

Partial Nephrectomy on 4/1/09. Anxious for follow-up results.

10 months out from surgery and the films still look good but seem to have other problems now with constant pain below the incision area along with areas of numbness and weight that I can't seem to lose.

Still experiencing extreme pain and nausea of the right flank radiating over to the left flank. Have developed large bulge on right side from rib removal.

Radical nephrectomy 2/6/09

i had kidney stones and they found tumor on my kidney

Done with the Davinci machine and was a little more painful than I anticipated. But am healing quickly and moving around good. Will be returning to work after only 2 wks off.

Husband had 5.5 cm clear cell tumor removed with left kidney 9/18/08. Laparascopic surgery went well. No other involvement. Stage 1b pathology. We were ecstatic and optimistic. Three month check up revealed several lung nodules ranging from less than 5mm to 1.5 cm. We are flaggergasted. Needle biopsy to be scheduled. Then I guess they will recommend treatment options. I want to go to Sloan Kettering for opinion. Can anyone relate to this situation?
