cole256 17,059 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I talked to you a little about it, I had a mass on my kidney as well and I was only born with one so my surgery I had to remove the mass the old way because they had to be precise. I have a scar from my back almost to my naval. The mass turned out to be benign, also they say nobody wants cancer of course but if you had to have one this is one of the more safer ones if you have two kidneys of course. They said the way they remove kidneys now is just a slight cut and not near as painful. Monitor your creatin and protein. Stay hydrated so your kidney do less work, I wouldn't drink alcohol or energy drinks. Use aspirin but not ibuprofen. You can definitely beat this so don't be too depressed but it's always easy for people to tell you not to of course. Just don't ever stop fighting. I had my surgery in Birmingham and I can tell you my doctor. He was AMAZING. I had complications from having just one kidney and I was so down one night. My room was right above a basketball court and I was thinking about how I used to be so athletic, and my first professional job offer was from Southern nuclear and I had these wonderful memories of my life going well in b ham and now I was just feeling like look at how I've fallen...... My doctor would always come sit with me and just talk. He was pretty young to be a doctor so I could talk to him pretty easy then. We watched a playoff game together one night, I won't ever forget it. He spent waaaaay more time with me than he had to. But anyway you'll get through this I believe in you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just seeing this fifty. Trust and believe in His healing power, stay positive and don’t allow thoughts of doubt to creep in. Like others have already mentioned, we will be praying for you. When “I” is replaced by “We” then illness becomes wellness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUApostle 7,651 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Praying for you fifty. My father in law was just diagnosed w/ pancreatic cancer. I’m believing for complete healing for him too. My wife, the lovely natural medicine nerd that she is, has gone scorched earth on the rest of the family. She’s cut out sugar from our diet and has us all eating apricot seeds (they’re not too bad, like bitter almonds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
