Hello Dio, 

I am so sorry to hear about the discovery of these masses on your mum's kidney and I hope that your video call appointment will shed some light on what is going on. It's good that you are going to be with her on the video call and I would advise you make a list beforehand of the things you would like to ask to make sure you don't forget, for example what treatment plan they have for her and whether they will go ahead with a biopsy. Anything that springs to your mind, make sure you write it down and bring it up during the video call. Other members of our community will have had a similar urology appointment and will be able to tell you more about what to expect from this video call appointment. There is useful information too on our website on kidney cancer which might be of interest to you and which you could read before the appointment. 

Don't hesitate also to give our cancer nurses a call if you would like to talk things through with them - you can ring them on this free number 0808 800 4040 and their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

I hope that the video call goes well and that it provides some answers and reassurance on what the steps ahead might be. Keep us updated if you get a moment on what they have discussed with you and I hope that you will be able to connect on the forum with others who have had a similar diagnosis. 

Best wishes,
