Hi I'm new to this group & just looking for bit of advice / reassurance from anyone going through it that has been through similar, 5 weeks ago I was having blood in urine, slight pain in side & back, doctor though kidney infection  gave antibiotics, same thing happened a week later, doctor suspects kidney stones so referred for scan, a weeks later same again so doctor advised going to a &e for emergency scan, this showed up a mass on left kidney approx 10cm by 8cm, told it would be treated as cancer until they find out otherwise, 3 dsts later I had a ct scan with dye through a canular to scan kidneys & chest, 5 days later I get a call to go for results with consultant urologist to discuss results & what will happen going forward, now I'm dreading the worst, trying to think positive but also fearing the worst, j know they dont mess about when it comes to the c word but it's all gone very fast from having the initial scan & finding the mass to having a second scan & the results in a week & a half, I shouldnt Google things but just cant help it, I know it could be nothing too bad & worse case I lose a kidney but I just worry the fact its obviously bern growing for some time & that its spread, I feel fine health wise apart from blood in urine n niggling pain in my side and back & cant fathom out that is the size it us & I'm only just having symptoms, i know everyone is different but has anyone else been through a similar experience & it's not been cancer or nothing serious, just need big of reassurance that it's not always bad, I'm 46 with 5 children youngest is 2 .
