I had two partial nephrectomys about 90 days apart for large tumors. They were two different cancers. First was Sept 2018 and second Jan 2019. I was 62.
The first surgery was easier , I was in my own room the first night after surgery and getting up to use bathroom on my own within that first 12 hr period. I had a drain tube first 24 hrs which was then removed . I had expressed problems with nausea after previous surgery and they addressed that during and after so limited pain and nausea. I was discharged the next evening. Went home with pain medication but only used first day after hour drive home and then the next few nights to sleep better. I climbed stairs at home to get to bedroom slowly but no problems. It was mostly only painful to initally sit up... but after 2 or three days was better. First 2 weeks limited activity, including no lifting for 6 weeks. Core recovery was back to my normal in 3 to 4 wks. But I am not a sports or fitness enthusiast. Biggest factor was fatigue for first few weeks .
It's been almost 5 yrs and no increase in spread etc.
Wishing you well!
