Learned yesterday that I have a tumor in my right kidney that needs to be removed.It is kinda close to a blood vessel and not sure if it is cancer. Had a rough year last year,..three major surgeries in six months. I was just getting back to normal health and this thing pops up. Surgeon says he should be able to remove the tumor and save the kidney,..won't know for sure until he gets in there.Surgery should be 3-4 hours long. About a week stay in the hospital if all goes well.
A little nervous about this one but, I'v been through worse. Thank the Lord he gave us two kidneys in case one goes bad. Tests next week then a date for surgery probably in the next three weeks or so. Could use some prayers on this one to keep the surgeons hands steady and save my kidney if possible.Worst part is the waiting and the tests leading up to surgery.
Thanks for listening, just needed to vent.

Prayers sent. Hoping for good results all around - and calmness beforehand. Waiting without worrying is a difficult thing.
 
Yes, May the Lord grant wisdom and skill to your doctors. May the surgery be successful and go well. May your healing be quick and complete. By the power of His name.
 
Prayers from here Leo. Surgury, no matter how insignificant or involved always leaves us in a bit of a tizzy.May God calm the fears and direct the hands of the surgeon. God Bless.
 
My SIL had one removed a while back now he has cancer on the back of his tounge he's not doing to well on this one but the doctor just says to wait it will take time.
Hope you do better.

I'm praying for you. You have good reason to worry when something goes haywire with a kidney. Keep us posted. Jim
 
If you"re in decent health otherwise, you"ll probably come through this just fine. I lost a kidney to stage-3b sarcoma-type cancer in November of 2001. Prognosis wasn"t good at that time; doctors said it would likely be back in 6-18 months. Went through an experimental drug trial, and with the grace of God, I"m still here and cancer-free. Living on one kidney is absolutely no problem.
