Hello, I have had a recent MRI scan related to another rare illness. In the scan it picked up several areas of concern wthin my Liver, Pancreas and Kidney.
I have since had a call from the surgeon regarding my Iver and Pancreas an he has said the areas in my Liver are benign which is a relief. The area within the Pancreas has a a cystic element which will Sheri be scanned in regular basis as I understand there is a possibility of this turning cancerous of which treatment is either difficult or not possible.
I then turn to my Kidney which showed a heterogeneously enhancing lesion at the upper pole of the left kidney which is just over 2.5cm. The enhancing mass is reported to be of concern due to renal cell carcinoma.
What I don’t understand and I have had no letter, phone call or consultation is that having contacted the Hospital myself I am now told I am booked in for a CT scan of the kidney. I thought and MRI scan showed more detail but there must be a specific reason for this.
The other really confusing thing is that when I spoke to the Surgeon regarding my Liver etc he also of course knew about the Kidney but was surprised I had seen the report. I told him I had asked for them under the freedom of information act.
In his comments he said he could comment but it wouldn’t be right as it wasn’t his department, but that when someone had seen me, that department would more than likely speak to him again who in turn would speak to me about my Liver.
Well I was left very confused with the only knowledge of a further scan of which I don’t understand and his comments which are baffling.
Are you Alex to comment?
My apologies for the long text
