I have just returned from my Nephrologist who has now referred me to a Urologist for a 5 cm solid mass on the upper pole of my right kidney, does anyone here have any simiar experience with anything like this?
I'm sorry to see you've not received any replies to your post yet. I'm tagging [@Kaz6655] as she joined Cancer Chat last month and, if I remember rightly, was undergoing similar tests for a kidney mass. I know that [@JoyfulofJourney] has experience of renal cancer, so they may well be along soon to offer some thoughts.
I hope that the appointment with the urologist goes well; in the meantime, we're here to talk if you need to. We also have a brilliant team of cancer information nurses, should you have any questions. You can reach them on the freephone helpline 0808 800 4040.
Hi yes I had a 3cm mass on my kidney after all the tests I was one of the lucky ones as it was due to an underdeveloped kidney and not cancer. I do hope every thing goes well for you. I had an ultrascan which is the first thing that showed up the mass then I had a ct scan but unfortunately I went in to anaphylactic shock turned out I am allergic to the dye so I was then sent for an MRI scan and told that it wasn’t cancer after all. Originally the consultant had told me straight out that I had renal cancer so I was so relieved when I was told the consultant was incorrect but I had done research on renal cancer and it showed an excellent rate of getting better.
