Hi ferretmad,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. Try not to worry about things getting worse in the meantime - that's a very quick appointment to receive and often people will be waiting much longer than this, often weeks or months.

It's good to hear you don't have too long to wait. Try to take things a day at a time in the meantime, and I hope that the appointment goes OK.

Wishing you all the best,

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.  I received a letter from the consultant today that details the whole thing better.  I've got a 4.6 left suprarenal mass.  It could be related to my renal gland (does he mean adrenal gland?) or an exophytic lesion from the upper pole of the left kidney.  

I'm hoping its the gland one as that sounds less bad.

I'm getting a CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis.

Hi just wondering how your appointment went? I know how scary this all is!

I had the CT Scan today with contrast.  I won't find out anything until the results are back though.  From the blood test my kidneys are functioning ok. which is good.

Good news about the kidney function test! I had a ultrasound on my kidney were they found a lump on my right one, was reffered to urology under the 2ww but thankfully turned out to be a benign tumour called a angiomyolipoma. Fingers crossed yours is also benign!

Hi 

did you need a biopsy to determine it was benign and was the biopsy fairly straightforward?
