Surgery Scheduled

tango xray

We met with the MD Anderson team yesterday and have been scheduled for surgery next Wednesday (11/1/17).  The plan is to have a partial nephrectomy but I have also consented for a radical if it is determined to be the best route once he is in there. 

The wording 'inseparable from diaphragm' that had us so worried didn't seem to be an issue; however, there were a few lymph nodes that caught his eye but other than that things seem pretty 'routine'.

Glad to have a plan and a date...

Moving foward is good!  Here

Moving foward is good!  Here's to an uneventful and successful surgery as well as the best possible outcome with the nodes!  I too was told I could have a radical but once they were in there it was not as deep as it appeared and I only lost 10% of my kidney.  I was mentally ready for the whole thing to be removed!

I think they tell all of us

I think they tell all of us that. I too had to sign off on that it may have to turn into a radical. All the best to you and may they preserve as much of your kidney as possible.

Good to hear that you have a plan and are ready to roll.  I think it's great you get that thing out of you sooner rather than later.  I'll be thinking of you next week.  Keep us updated.

Good luck with the surgery.  You'll do fine as I'm sure you'll sail right thru it.  I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Good for you!

I'll keep you in my prayers.  I know for you, it might seem like that's forever, but it'll be here before you know it, and that little beast will find itself in a petrie dish.

Best wishes,

Sorry to just be updating

But I am home after 4 days in the hospital and like to think I am recovering like a rock star!

My 10" jagged scar, occassional discomfort and swelling causing my belly button to be unrecognizable isn't slowing my rock star recovery!!

I thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, good vibes, and well wishes!!

Kind of like being 9 months pregnant

the only time that belly button can get a very good clean.   Glad to read you are reporting an uneventful recovery.   Keep on rock'n.
