kidney cancer?

Does anyone who has had surgery for cancer ever have a problem with their kidney shutting down ? My Nephrologist is aware of the problem but she hasn't adressed it yet. I generally happens if I'm away from the house, and it takes several days to lose the fluid I gain at these times. I do drink water, but I some times wonder if it's just adding to the problem. I am also dealing with diabetes. Blood pressure seems to be fine but have to take several meds.

Update:

I've been trying to get the diabete fasting numbers down by diet, have lost 16 lbs and blood pressure is generally around 106/65 which I consider low. fasting averages around 140, not the greatest, but I'm working on it, Dr. App. yesterday, and my primary was trying to get ahold of my Nephrologist , but she seems to be on vacation. So I may get a call Monday. if it doesn't get for gotten.

there is a lot of unhappiness going on in the family and somedays I' just seem to fall apart. But I try to stay strong,sometimes even that weares you out,

    Hey - I am recovering from kidney cancer - had surgery just over a month ago - only a partial removal, but all is working fine. Maybe the diabetes is having more of an impact - what I found was lack of information - just lots of "do everything in moderation"......hmmmmm........yep, i too drink lots of water, but havent had the issues of retaining fluid. Push push push for answers kiddo - you have the right to get this information - it IS all about you. How are you anyway?

    my husband had a kidney cancer stage II he had his radical nephrectomy last feb 7, 2007. After 2 weeks after operation he back to his works and usually everyday activities. His nephrologist, urologist and oncologist advice him to have a follow-up CT scan every 6 months for 2 years and annually for 5 years. Nephrologist advise him to take a lot of fluid and watch his blood pressure. As of today he has no reccurency of cancer. Hope you recover soon.
