I have been to see the surgeon. He has decided to perform a partial nephrectomy by robotic/ laparoscopic surgery, I am very anxious about surgery on my kidney. He said I was ‘fit for surgery’ Can anyone advise please ?
I'm sorry to hear that you're currently waiting for surgery. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious and may have questions. Is there something in particular that you're feeling worried about or is it the whole situation in general?
We have information on our website about surgery for kidney cancer which includes information about partial nephrectomy. Hopefully this will give you some reassurance.
You're also very welcome to ring our team of nurses to talk things through with them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
Hopefully, someone who has had this surgery will post to share their experiences with you and offer some reassurance soon.
