Tracey,
Just read your post on another thread, you have come to the right place for support and answers. When removed, your tumor was about 4cm, mine was 5cm about 2-1/2 years ago, both considered small and likely stage 1. Clear cell is the most common type, beyond that it would not be possible to say much more without knowing what your pathology report said. If you would provide more details from the report you will get more information from the gang here. That said, the most likely scenario with a small tumor is surgical cure odds approaching 100% as long it was completely contained with no evidence of disease (NED) anywhere else. Going forward you continue to live as before with periodic follow-up testing and possibly some minor dietary changes.

This is by far the commonest form of renal cell carcinoma and there's more to read about it on the Web than you could read in a lifetime. There are many good links on this site with reliable info. from the ACS itself do start by exploring that. Meantime, do you have a bit more info on your tumour - e.g. The size and on yourself - age, gender, general health etc. we can then home in on information of most relevance to you.
