Anxious and nervous

Hi please help - I am going for a CT scan tomorrow morning for a 14cm suspicious cyst on my left kidney I'm in no pain and my kidney function and last urine test where fairly normal also had a chest X-ray last week which was clear. I keep thinking the worst and if it is bad then nothing can be done. Has anyone else had anything similar?

  • Hello MrsZ, 

    I hope that you will hear from others on the forum who have had something similar. How did your CT scan go? I hope that by now you will be feeling a little bit better that it's all done and that you won't have to wait too long for results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
