Found out over the last few weeks I have a sizable tumor on my right kidney. About the size of a softball. Finally got to surgeon yesterday and he told me no way to save kidney it's all gotta come out. Not looking for any pity just wondering if anybody is living with one and if there are any differences. Found it by accident actually while I was getting an MRI of my lower back. Imagine my surprise when they informed me I had a rather large mass on my kidney. I have been told from what they can see from imaging it hasn't gone "downriver". Guy doing the cutting got his doctorate from Yale so I'm pretty confident in his skills and he drew a dumb truck driver a picture HAHA. Says pretty good chance he can do it with the robot so the healing will be quicker. First guy I went to was gonna crack me open so always get the second opinion boys. Thanx
