Need Advice-post Operative Partial Nephrectomy Posted: 03-19-05 15:40pm
3 months ago I had a partial nephrectomy
to remove a 4cm tumor. I am concerned
about the pain I am currently
experiencing. I have back pain like I did
before they found the tumor. I feel
burning sensations in my lungs. The
original tumor was found from abdominal
pain that turned out to be my appendix and
some tissue wrapped around it. I have no
idea if they tested my appendix for
malignancy. I have an appt with the
surgeon on wednesday, for another reason,
and I am concerned about what he is going
to do about these symptoms. I am not
scheduled for another ct for another 2
months, but I never expected to have pain
like this at this point? Is it possible
that I have further involvement from this
original diagnosis?

What ended up happening when you went to
the doctor? I wanted to ask you if the
tumor was renal cell carcinoma? I hope
everything was fine when you went to the
doctor.
