Had an open radical nephrectomy end of September. As of mid November, still recovering. My advice to anyone seeking advice in this forum ??? See your Dr. I hate going to the Dr, and have always avoided it at all costs. If I'd avoided it this time, it could have cost me my life.
And I stole this tag line from someone on another forum.
Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.
