    In general, I noticed that

    In general, I noticed that after the diagnosis, many different pains arise, here and there. I have tachycardia after eating, as well as a feeling of fullness. There are also some strange weaknesses sometimes, but in general everything is fine, perhaps it is the nervous system or consequences operations, and each time there is a fear of relapse, or another cancer. Unfortunately, it looks like it will follow to the end. But most importantly, it is very difficult to tune in to a normal life.

    Hi

    I agree that you should contact your doctor with your concerns. I always seem to experience pains around scan time. It can't hurt to consult your doctor.

    Even if it turns out to be psychological, you don't lose anything by talking with the doc.

    I have an odd sensation where

    I have an odd sensation where my kidney used to be, like a cramp developing.  According to the surgeon, it's scar tissue still forming even though it's been nearly two years since the surgery.  Based on how another part of my body feels where I had surgery a few months before the nephrectomy, scar tissue definitely can cause discomfort.
