I was diagnosed with kidney cancer on 3rd December 2019. After going for an ultrasound to check for gallstones the routinely checked my kidneys and pelvis and spotted a mass. This was back in June. It was a bit of a mess about between then and December but we got there in the end. On the 13th January I had my left kidney removed and have been on the road to recovery since then. It just seems to be taking forever the top wound of the 3 split back open once my staples were removed but not enough to be stitched so I'm just having to clean and redress and on top of that I've just started in the last couple of days to have sharp pains in the left side of my stomach not too far from one of my wounds does anyone know of this is normal? I'm really struggling to deal with some of the thoughts and feelings I keep having but I'm being open with my partner and my mum which helps as before I was keeping it to myself and wasn't liking who or how I was. I think I've ranted on a bit now so will stop there
