My surgery was moved up . I actually had it done this past Friday at Mayo / St Mary’s in Rochester MN. Ended up being a 6hr surgery. 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.

That's great news that they were able to remove the whole tumor along with kidney. I am anxious to hear the results of my own kidney tumor biopsy, and find out what is next. Now that you are functioning on one kidney what difference has it made? Do you have to go back for periodic CT scans to make sure all is well?

That is great news! If you’re off the pain meds, you’re doing really well! I think my surgery was around 4-5 hours and just know I was more groggy and uncomfortable the first few days trying to get the surgery meds out of system. Was your surgery robotic or traditional?
I’ll be keeping you in my prayers. Next is the pathology report…One day at a time!
