Hello, I was diagnosed with a Bosniak 3 cyst on my right kidney last week. This was discovered incidentally following an ultrasound for stomach pain, my kidneys are thankfully not causing any symptoms. I had a CT scan from which they diagnosed the cyst and my consultant has ordered an MRI for a better look. He said the best way forward is to have a nephrectomy. Does anybody here have experience of a Bosniak cyst? Has anybody had a partial or whole nephrectomy? I am keen to know how recovery was, how you felt afterwards, how independent you were in self care and daily needs in the early days? This discovery was quite a shock and it is taking me some time to adjust to the news. Any feedback would be appreciated. Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum I meant to post it in newly diagnosed!
