Hello. This is my first posting. My husband has just been diagnosed with kidney cancer, a 10 cm tumor. They must remove the entire kidney. Because of the size of the tumor, he cannot have laparoscopic surgery.
I know it varies from patient to patient, but I would like to know what to expect. The doctor says it is a rough recovery, lots of pain. Can anyone tell me what they have experienced? It would be so helpful for me, for us, to know what to expect.
I appreciate your help. This is all such a shock and everything seems to be happening so fast.
