    Snap!

    Your tumor was exactly the same size as mine. A week out and I bet you are still very sore, but likely starting to feel a fair bit better.

    For me, I have follow up checks every 6 months for 2 years, then once a year thereafter. You will probably have something quite similar.

    What I did to stay on top of things was to rest properly and then read up about RCC as much as I could. With a dash of luck surgery will be enough for you. My surgeon told me in his experience there was a 97% chance of non-recurrence.

    Follow up protocol

    Mine was larger and my Urologist is following the National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommendations. If interested you can check each stage recommendation on their site. My Urologist also says that for now he is my point of contact, no Oncologist or Nephrologist. Hope this helps
