I had major abdominal surgery for kidney removed about 10 weeks ago for cancer grade 4. I now have very gurgling tummy a lot of the time and am concerned why this is happening
I'm sorry to hear that you've been through major abdominal surgery recently for kidney cancer. I hope that your recovery has progressed well.
You don't mention in your post if this gurgling is a new symptom or if you've already mentioned it to your GP, specialist or cancer nurse. It's certainly worth getting in touch with one of the team looking after you for some advice and support, and if further investigations are needed, they will be able to arrange these for you. Hopefully they will be able to give you some reassurance.
If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses, you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
I am now 5 months on from my major kidney (cancer) removal I am still bloated with big abdomen and flanks. It’s very uncomfortable and on top of that my left flank (opposite side to 12 inch scar) is giving me pain, I paid privately and saw a kidney specialist consultant who said all was ok, it was grade 4 but I had clear margins and lymph nodes. A month after surgery I had thorax and abdomen ct scan with contrast which showed no recurrence, I am now on Immuntherapy. The feeling of being hugely bloated and pain is very worrying, Has anyone else had similar problems to me. Thanks
