My post evaporated haha  on a wifi at hospital. Anyway, my surgery is done. Four days later I can tell you it wasn't very pleasant. It was open surgery. I had no choice as to position in the middle of the kidney.

 

Thanks to everyone for the support. It means a lot

    Sandy:

    It's good to read your response.  Silence can be disturbing sometimes.

    As has been said three gazillion times, rest and recuperate to regain your strength.  The few days post surgery are very important for the ultimate outcome of the procedure.

    I also want to comment on your statement (Thanks to everyone for the support. It means a lot).  Those few and simple words underscore the comraderie of those of us who endure the hardships of cancer.  We are all in this together - the good news, the bad news, the unknowns and the confirmed.  Collectively, we encourage or console each other through the up's and down's of this mess.  The true meaning of those few words mean much more to us on this forum.  Simply stated, but so true.  And it's always good to hear positive results.

    Pathologist report states

    Pathologist report states cyst was cancerous but all removed surgically. NED! A few more months and it would have spread. Cyst was 3.4c when removed.
