 *Getting my kidney removed this Friday*
I found out right before Mother's Day that I have a tumor in my left kidney. Although they do not know for sure, the Dr. feels 95% sure that it is Renal Cell Carcinoma.
After about 4 scans and repeated b/w and x-rays, that show the *hot spots* and increased white blood cell counts, they decided to not do the biopsy (as that can possibly spread cancer) and just do (hopefully) a partial kidney removal.
I was hesitant about posting this but I realize that I could use all the support and positive thoughts & prayers I could get.
Although I have been told what to expect during the surgery and during the recovery, we are still very concerned. I am very scared and nervous.
The surgery is set for this Friday, July 25th. The Dr. told me to expect to stay in the hospitol for at least 4 nights and the first few weeks of recovery were not going to be easy.
Our families are pulling together to help out with the kids during this time, and I am very grateful for them.
Thank you all for reading this.
