Your doctor will be able to advise you about this. But, it usually takes about 4 weeks before you are safe to drive. If you have keyhole surgery (a laparoscopic nephrectomy) you may be able to start driving again sooner than this, about 2 to 3 weeks.

Macmillan Cancer Support is a national charity and we rely on voluntary donations. To donate, please call Supporter Services on 020 7840 4900. Thank you.
