My kidney removal was performed at Johns Hopkins by a urologist. After the surgery, I was immediately released to an oncologist there. I now see the oncologist at Hopkins and a nephrologist in my home town for follow up.
My surgery was performed by a surgical urologic oncologist at a regional teaching hospital. My follow up monitoring is done thru my local oncologist. CT's on a regular (3 month, then 5 month basis). Because I had two separate recurrences, each a year apart, I'm only 3 years from my most recent surgery. Because of the concerns about frequent CT's, I'm now on alternating ultrasound/xrays with CT's every 6 months. So far, so GOOD.
I do see my PC physician at 4 month intervals for standard labs, etc. as he looks after my BP (with only one kidney) cholesterol, and anything else.
PS, I'm female, age 68.
