10cm mass on kidney

I’m a 39 year old female, found a lump in my right side. Went for an ultrasound which showed I have a 10cm mass on my right kidney. The urologist has now sent me for a CT scan to check to see if the cancer has spread. Had anybody had a tumour this size that hadn’t spread? 

  • Hello Disney1234 and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry to hear about the mass that has been found and for the anxious wait you now have for your CT scan to see if it has spread.

    Hopefully some of our members who have contended with a tumour of a similar size will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to support you and answer any other questions you may have at this time.

    We're thinking of you Disney1234 and will have our fingers crossed the cancer hasn't spread.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
