Partial Kidney Removal

I was diagnosed in Dec 2015 with Renal Cell Carcinoma and had partial laproscopic kidney removal with no complications - dr said "youre cured" - i feel worse 3 months later.  my back area hurts - i had a kidney infection last week and uti which i never ever had in my life - wondering if this is related to the RCC or just a pure coincidence - dr's do not seem concerned with the RCC diagnosis and i guess it has me concerned but no one else - anyone else have issues after surgery?
