I had kidney cancer which had spread into my pelvic area and toward my heart. I had one kidney and the cancer removed at Mayo.
I have a question now after the surgery. It has now been about 4 1/2 years since my surgery. After a sneezing fit, I now have a baseball size bulge in the navel area at the top part of my 12 inch vertical scar. Would that be a hernea or should I be concerned that it is something worse?
PS For those of you concerned about surgery for kidney cancer, I have to say that my recovery was much easier than I had anticipated it would be, so may you have as easy a recovery as I. Just be sure to press your stomach when you have a sneezing fit even if it is years later.
