Partial robotic nephrectomy in two days

RadRuck

Hi everyone,

In two days, I’m scheduled for a partial robotic nephrectomy to remove a 3cm mass that my doctors are confident is cancer. I’ve come to terms with the diagnosis, and until recently, I felt relatively at peace about the surgery. But over the past few days, my anxiety has really crept in—especially about potential post-op complications.

Has anyone here gone through this procedure and had a relatively smooth recovery?

I’m definitely spiraling a bit right now.

Thanks,

OC
