Living with one kidney
in Health ·
Hey everyone,
Two weeks ago, a routine checkup turned up a kidney tumor. Things escalated quickly, and I ended up in surgery within a week to have my entire right kidney removed. Luckily, the tumor was compact and hadn't spread yet, so the doctors are optimistic. Now, I’m just waiting for my six-week follow-up to see how my body handles being down one organ.
The catch? My doctors at the hospital didn't give me any actual guidance on what I should be eating.
I know the basics—cut back on salt, pepper, and heavy spices, especially for these first few months.
Any advice or personal experiences would be huge...
