Hello everyone
These past few weeks I've read so many of your wonderful stories as I have been awaiting my surgery. I was diagnosed in August with a 12.5 cm cyst on my right kidney....softball size. I had no signs like so many it was found on a CT scan looking for something else. My doctor used the divinci robot and had a radical nephectomy two weeks ago. I came home the next day , slept on the incision after 6 days and take only a pain pill at night.
Everyday my pain seems a little less.
Today was my first visit with the doctor and I was so scared. I prepared myself for the worst but hoped for the best. Everyone I know was praying for me. Well miracles do happen. My doctor walked in with a big smile on his face and told me it was a benign cystic nephroma. He said this is only found in 5% of all renal cysts. Yes my prayers were answered......there is no other explanation. I'm a 62 yr old female who just retired from teaching this June .....so I'm hoping for a long life cancer free. Just remember God is there for all of us.

Happy for you

Thanks for sharing your story. Even for those of us who weren't "lucky" like you, it helps remind me I am still very blessed - found my cancer early, it was all contained and I'm feeling better every day. I would think losing a kidney was worth knowing you don't have cancer! Congrats!0
