Hello MC1

I'm sorry to hear you've recently been on such a rollercoaster of emotions. It's good to hear that there was nothing of immediate concern found on your recent scan but it's understandable that you're feeling anxious about this angiomyolipoma. Hopefully, when you next see the team for a review they will be able to reassure you. 

In the meantime, I wanted to send you this link to this post made by [@emilykate96]‍ and to share some information from the Kidney Cancer UK website which says "One particular form of benign tumour, made up of blood vessel tissue, fat or muscle tissue is known as an angiomyolipoma. Usually these are of no significance when small but if large or multiple tumours occur then specialist assessment is required." Hopefully, this will help you feel less anxious about the recent scan findings. 

I know from your other posts that you've been through a lot over the past few months and I wonder if you might find it helpful to chat with one of our nurses for some support and reassurance. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

I do hope that things settle and improve for you soon. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
