Hey everyone, my name is Kimberly I'm a 29-year-old kidney cancer survivor. I was diagnosed last year with a rare form of kidney cancer. It's been ten months now since my surgery and I have been in pain with nerve damage and where the procedure was done has been hurting terribly. Do anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to ease the pain.

    Hi, Kim

    Sorry to hear about your situation. I don't have any advice, but I am curious about what your doctor has said about this.

    I remember people posting about a bulge at the surgery site, but I can't remember if this particular topic has come up. You could use the search feature (top right of your screen--just click the magnifying lens).

    Good luck!
