I also had a tumour in my left kidney, it was not a secondary but another primary cancer.
Becasue the tumour was situated on the pole they could not save my kidney, so off to surgery I went for removal of my left kidney. That was June 13th this year.
Whilst I won't lie, the recovery wasn't easy, I am doing fine now. I feel no issue with having one kidney it does not effect my every day life.
My understanding is that if you have a tumour dependant on where it is located they can remove part of the kidney, I was told that chemo and radiation would not work for me on that area.
I was also told that they would not do the kidney surgery before my chemo as it is best to have 2 kidneys to assist to flush the chemo from our bodies.
I hope this is the type of information you are after, if not just ask the question and I'll try and answer you.
