Worried about a mass on kidney and possible kidney tumor

Hello - My tumor was 1.7 cm and I had cryoablation on June 18th this summer. You'll be under general anesthesia during procedure and should be able to leave same day. There will be a small bandage covering incision point on your back. It doesn't hurt but you want to keep that area clean. Bandage comes off in about a week and you're go to go.
Hope this helps and wishing you all the best.

@donnachaidh I am a bit late in the conversation here but I scheduled cryablation for a 2.5 cm tumor on right kidney for Jan 6. The scheduler did not have all the information I was hoping for but maybe you can inform me. Were you able to go home the day of ablation? I am coming to Rochester from Ohio and we are setting up accomodations. Did you follow up with personal physician after the procedure? What were your restrictions after? I hope to be able to drive the 12 hours home the next day ( husband driving). I am pretty active with walking and golf and wondering if I should be planing to be slow to resume activity?
