Hello Dizzyliz; so sorry you are being faced with yet more surgery.  I looked up the details of nephrectomy and thoracotomy and felt you had already had more than your fair share of procedures over the years so I am not surprised that you are totally thrown by this. ******, ******, ****** would be my reaction and I have no doubt it is yours.  Except you might not swear as much as I do.

I hope you have good family and friends around you to help and support you through whatever you have to undergo.  Also I hope you will come to this forum to let off steam and say how you are feeling.  Best wishes.  Annie
