Hello and thanks for your post

Waiting to have a CT scan and the results can be very stressful, and it's natural to feel worried. But I’m afraid until the results are known no one can tell what this mass in your kidney is. It may be nothing to be worried about but it needs to be checked out just to be sure.

Waiting in circumstances like this is never easy but I’m afraid there is no real way round this. Some people find talking it through with family and friends and keeping busy can sometimes help. But until you know more it’s natural to worry.

I hope you know more about your situation soon and that everything turns out to be okay. Give us a ring if you want to talk any of this over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Thank You so much for your support and advice 

I am in the same position as you. I’m waiting for the results of MDT as I have two masses on each of my kidneys.

I was like you they found a mass on my right kidney in  March 2021 which was cancerous  I had a partial nephrectomy in August that year I’m now nearly 3 years clear ( in remission ) the last scan was in January and there was no evidence of a re occurrence. , so what I’m trying to say is it is treatable with a good outcome … I’m here to prove its,  hard not to worry but try not to 

Was the mass large ? Did your doctors do any tests before deciding to operate ? Thank you for your reply.

It was about 2.5 cm, I had 2 CT scans which went to the mdt meeting they decided to take it out as a precaution  with good margins all round , then test it and it was cancerous , now I’m on a five year plan scans every 6 months , 

Thank you Swanny for your helpful post. I’m hoping that will be the option with mine too. I lost my signal last night so I couldn’t post back

Mine is Bosniak 2F 3cm and meeting a surgeon to discuss this week! Hopefully I can convince him to take it out!!! (Via BUPA)

I hope your operation goes well.

Let’s hope they agree and will remove as an elective and not just monitor for a few years! That would be toooooo stressful!

As suspected they surgeon want to scan again in 6 months to make a decision again at that point even thought already 30mm ! Would have preferred to have it out !!

 Hi I have a kidney mass. This will be removed robotically laparoscopically. I’m very nervous about this. I hope you will be able to have yours removed too ?

I am very sure you will be perfectly fine - The surgeons are wonderful these days. All the best and hope it all goes well for you

Hi DR1971. I have seen the surgeon and am waiting for a date for a partial nephrectomy robotically and laparoscopically. Do you have a date yet for your op? They said mine would be for to six weeks.

Unfortunately not ! I want it done but the surgeon decided to review again at the end of July !!! Hope al goes well for you
