Kidney scar

I got diagnosed with kidney cancer in August 2018. Got my kidney removed in September 2018. Everything OK up to know. But scar keeps swelling and seems I have a lot of gas around the area to. If I lie down on area the gas comes out and swelling goes down. Can be like this for most of the day. 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Han although I'm sorry for the trouble your scar is causing you at the moment.

    Do be sure to let your GP know about this when you can as they'll be in the best position to help but hopefully you'll get some support and advice from some of our members who have experienced this as well.

    If you'd like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope you can get this resolved soon.

    All the best,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
