I just had a partial neph last Thursday, 3/22/18, for a 3.2 x 2.8 tumor, and it has been a rough week at times. The surgeon was confident he got it all, and said there were clear margins. I have been anxiously awaiting the pathology report. Well, he just called, and it is BENIGN! I can hardly believe it! I truly appreciate all the support and advice I have received from the good people on this board. I feel like I’ve just won the lottery! I still have a long way to go in my recovery, and I will probably need stents in my kidneys to help manage my bp, but for now...AHHH! It has been the most difficult 3 weeks (from diagnosis to surgery to today) of my life. God’s blessings to all of you!

    Way to go

    Arknut,

    ---this proves that there are 10% who turn out benign even after being nephed. You are allowed to keep the membership beanie anyway. You did the right thing given the odds.

    10%

    You are the second or third person that has reported a benign tumor since I've been on the board.  Countless others haven't been as fortunate.  This is celebration time for you Arknut.  Congratulations!
