Re: Anyone have experience with kidney tumors???

[Guest guest]

Hello, Pat! Nice to hear from you. Sorry about your mystery kidney mass.

What have you been taking for RA over the last couple of years? How did they

happen to find the tumor? Are you having symptoms that could be related to

it? Are any of your labs off?

I'm not sure what to make of it, Pat, but I'll be praying that you have a

successful surgery and an uneventful recovery. Try not to worry.

Hi everyone. I know I have not posted in ages but I do try to read

any many as I can and there are a couple friends I have made on here

that I keep in touch with by phone also.

The drs found a tumor on my left kidney and I am scheduled for surgery

next week to have it removed. They do not know if it is cancer but

said it was big enough that I needed to have it taken out

anyway...........just wondered if it is somehow related to any of the

drugs I have taken or just the RA...............I am not looking

forward to being laid up for several weeks .............but will keep

ya all posted on how I do.

Would appreciate any comments if anyone has anything to tell

me..........and of course keep me in your prayers too

Many hugs

Pat,

I am new to this group, but I wanted to ask you, where in so. oregon do you

live, you don't have to tell if you don't want to, however I live in southern

oregon also. I will definately pray for you, I do not know you, but what you

are going through makes my stuff look like nothing. Sorry to hear of all your

troubles.
