Kidney surgery
Hey dog lover, How did your surgery go? I hope all is well. My diagnosis said "worrisome for a primal malignancy" whatever that means. Any complications? How big was your tumor and what stage was it? I am still waiting to have my surgery so if you feel like sharing with me please do! Steve0 -

Hey, Steve,
I just had my surgery one week ago today. Minus now catching a cold, I'm feeling pretty darn good! I don't have the full report yet, but my tumor was Stage 1/Grade 1 so I feel very blessed. I don't anticipate any additional treatment. Since I had no idea what to expect in the way of surgery, I guess it went better than I expected. My tumor was just under 2 cm and was in the mid to upper area of my left kidney. I, too, had most of my pain on my right side - thought I had gall bladder trouble for months.
Imagine my surprise when I had a tumor in my LEFT kidney!
Are you having surgery, too?0
