New diagnosis

60 yr old male— I just had a partial nephroctomy due to a Bosniak 3 cyst on Wednesday. Major pain subsided after 1 day but with lingering soreness. (Thank God for Toradol)
I looked in my chart and the pathology results are in for the specimen they removed.

Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma
pT1b (5.9 cm)
Grade 3
Negative margins
No vascular invasion
Localized disease

Freaking out a little and it will be 10 days before meeting with my surgeon again , do I just came here for support and insight and what to expect next. Thank you so much for this community on Reddit. It’s already been so helpful!
