Hello 220358, 

A big welcome to Cancer Chat. The next few days before your appointment are going to feel like a very long wait as you are having to deal with the uncertainty of not knowing what this all means. It's good that things moved fast once they picked up this abnormality on your kidney on the ultrasound scan - they are clearly being very thorough and doing all the necessary investigations and it didn't take long for you to have those CT scans. You can't draw any conclusions though that it is cancer and only a medical expert will be able to give you a definite diagnosis and clarify what this abnormality is. So all you can do really for now is wait which really is the hardest thing and it's a time when keeping busy and distracted is important as well as resisting the urge to look things up on Google as it will not give you any definite answers either and will only make you feel more anxious. You can read some helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

Other members of our community may have gone through a similar diagnostic process after an abnormality was discovered on their kidney and I will let them come now and share their experience with you. 

Everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern - do keep us updated on what you find out when you have your appointment if you get a chance! 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

My appointment was cancelled and still not had my results..Finding this harder to deal with as each day passes by. .

You should ring your GP so that they can find out what's going on for you ,It must be be very difficult you need to know so I would definitely try and find out from GP or even from the hospital rather than being in limbo ,let us know how you get on .
