ABSTRACT

Several months later, I was sent to Cairns Base Hospital to a surgeonto have some investigation on my renal functions. Afterwards, I was advised to have an operation and perhaps to have a right

nephrectomy, removal of the right kidney. After the operation, in the

recovery room, the Surgeon came and saw me and advised me that

the kidney was a healthy one and he didn’t remove it, but removed

a renal cyst.
