in Kidney Cancer #1

Just met with the urologist today and he confirmed that he's the mass is probably cancer.  Looks like surgery early next week.  Glad I found this group I'm sure I'll find a lot of information and real life experiences.  So I'm glad to meet all of you but wish it were under better circumstances.

    It may seem overwhelming and scary now

    But you'll get through the surgery and recovery before you know it. That's easy to say once we've had the procedure, I know. But it will be ok and it will get better. Best of luck next week!

    Thanks for the kind and

    Thanks for the kind and encouraging words, I was thinking the surgery would be the easy part.  I've had different surgeries before and the post op work is always the toughest part.

    Post op wasn't so bad at all.

    Post op wasn't so bad at all. Wouldn't want to repeat it but it was not nearly as bad as I had feared. All the best to you and hopefully soon this will all be behind you.
