Kidney cancer - incidental find

Hi
I went into hospital at the weekend with stomach pains, they did an ultrasound and a CT which flagged up a mass on my left kidney which is totally unrelated to my stomach pain.
It's 7cm in size and i have an MRI booked for Monday, they are treating it as cancerous and I am just looking for some words of wisdom, advice etc on anyones experiences.
I've not had any symptoms that I am aware of however I am now thinking some of my back pain is related and also my tiredness? 

  • Hiya I had the same in July had CT scan on my lungs after waiting over 12 month for an urgent appointment got a call two days later to go back and have the dye in and got told I had a 5.4 cm tumour on my left kidney I hadn’t had any symptoms apart from back ache when I used to go shopping or stood ironing for hours,they discussed my options and I had the surgery on the 7th August which I had partial removal they did say when they went in if they needed to take the full kidney they would do but I’m so glad it’s over with they also found a nodule on my lung and said they didn’t know if it was linked to the kidney although they told me the kidney one looked contained,I hope all goes well for you and you get it sorted asap x
