Renal Cell Carcinoma--Surgery Recovery
First time to a "survivor" discussion board. Everyone's experiences are so different.

I came out of surgery with a 9" cut in my side (one of our toughest decisions was…

CT scan results
Hello all, I had my 6 month post nephrectomy ct scan yesterday. Today my doctor called and said there is a spot on the scan where my kidney used to be. He said it is most likely a seroma (at least that is what I think he called it). I have to have a pet scan on Friday to make sure. Does anyone have experiences with seromas?
