Pain after a cancer kidney removal

My husband had his kidney removed due to cancer 6 months ago and has been getting a burning pain that seems to be getting worse. He has seen his GP who said it’s a water infection but he’s not had a water infection for 6 months! Trying to get hold of his oncologist but wanted a little re assurance on here that it has happened to others and is not cancer coming back.. Thanks for reading

    I am sorry to hear about your husband and the pain he is currently experiencing.

    Unfortunately aches and pains can be the result of many different things so one one here can say what may be causing this pain for your husband.

    You are right in trying to get hold on his hospital urology team so they can also assess him as to what may be the problem. However if you are unable then do encourage your husband to contact his GP again and express your concerns to them.

    Try not to over think this for now as this pain doesn't necessarily mean the cancer has returned but he does need to be assessed properly to rule something more serious out.

    Please get back to us if you need or want to or you can call us on 0808 800 4040, weekdays 9-5 if you prefer.

    All the best and I hope things get better for your husband soon.

    Take care
