hi.thanks for your query.renal cell carcinoma is one such condition which is treated with surgical resection with or without chemotherapy....alternative or complimentary medicines like such oils have NO role in the management.yes I do agree with you that some pain medications can cause constipation.sometimes its becomes inevitible to the usuage of pain killers in cancer pain control medications.allow yourself 2tsps of laxative -dulcolax to improve the constipation.I suggest you once for all that you need to investigated further to determine the location,size,morphology,localspread,extent of resectability of the tumour...such investigations include CT ABDOMEN,RENAL BIOPSY,BONE SCAN,COMPLETE BLOOD ANALYSIS,assesment of daily urine output etc,since renal cell carcinomas when detected early have got excellent prognosis following surgical resection.I finally conclude that you get these investigation reports to your treating doctor/surgeon to determine the final treatment protocol.thank you.
