Radical Nephrectomies are carried out only because the cancer is thought to be localised and not spread (metastasised) to other organs or lymph nodes.
The chances of surviving a total blood transfusion are slim, so you have done very well indeed to have got this far. You will be having regular blood tests and these will alert the doctors to any sign of recourrence, using a test called Ca19-9 or Ca 2+. These are tumour markers and they are raised if cancer is at all present.
The chances of you being cancer free are very high. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
All my hopes.

Greetings: Unsure where you are, but I suffered from kidney cancer about six years ago, and lost the top third of my left kidney which carried the tumour. I will have a scan every two years for the rest of my life. The tumour was discovered by accident during a prostate scan - nothing wrong with the prostate, but did I know I had a lump on my left kidney? No, and no symptoms at all - gulp! My Christmas week scan has just been cleared.
If you can get there I thoroughly pat on the back urologist consultant Mark Stott at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital in Exeter (known as Wonford). He is an ace. When he did my operation loads of people turned up to watch as he is so good at what he does. And they came to my bed afterwards to say so! Plus he visited me every day - including weekends - and usually walked off with my Daily Telegraph! A lovely chap with a great sense of humour.
When he was descriibing what he was going to do, he said he would do a drawing for my late wife and I. As we sat around a table, just before he started he asked if we ate steak and kidney pie! We didn't, so he proceeded! A wonderful surgeon with humour.
Best to you, Robert in Dawlish, Devon, England

Stress, poor nutrition and some medications can cause hair loss. Does she have any other symptoms that may give you a reason to think she has Kidney cancer? I would try going to webmd and typing in hair loss and or any other sympoms she may be having. Kidney failure can cause hair loss

Well I do not know of any warning signs to alert you, But I know God loves you and wants you well, so I am going to pray for you Poet and I believe you are cancer free and if you are interested. I do know that cancers are fed by sugars, and acidity foods, so I suggest to come off sugars and go to alkaloid foods. If you want to know more email me at ptlesther06@shaw.ca

Watch for a change in your urine. If it gets red (bloody), go for help immediately.
Watch for pain in the kidney area. See the doctor if it occurs.
