Side Effects (Bowel obstruction): Right before I was supposed to check out after my surgery it was deemed that I had postsurgical ileus. It was one of the most miserable times of my life when they shoved the ng tube down my nose, through my throat and into my stomach. I was truly miserable for 4 days until they removed the tube.

Oh No (Diagnosed): They found a baseball sized tumor in my right kidney during a CT Scan to identify why I was having breathing issues and source of enlarged lymph nodes in my chest.. They also found two lesions in my lungs with initial thought of kidney cancer that had spread to my lungs and lymph nodes.
