Paul, sorry to hear you are scheduled for removal of kidney.
I am scheduled for biopsy of mass on my left kidney on Aug. 14, and don't know what comes after that. I finished successful treatment for esophageal cancer tumor recently.
I had lots of side affects during radiation and chemo. Coughing up flem and being constantly tired were a few. My kidney mass was describled as 4 by 3 cm and growing. I'm curious how the size of your tumor was described?

The surgeon,Dr Sharma described my tumor as being very large. 24 cm . Thank God he was able to remove it still totally intact with kidney. It’s been to say the least a very rollercoaster ride week. The first couple of days were not fun. But…. the good news is I’m
Schedule to go home tomorrow with only being here for 5!full days. Believe me, I’m still
Pretty sore when walking , but off everything but extra strength, Tylenol.

Hi Don. Thanks for replying. I just looked up my latest tests results. My tumor is 17x18.2x24. It’ll be interesting to see and feel after it’s removed? Sorry to hear what you also dealing with. Definitely surreal at times? After my surgery, the surgeon had said I’d most likely start immuno therapy I believe it’s called? Whatever it takes right?!
