Kidney Cyst

I have suffered from kidney stones for about two years. Subsequently following tests for the stones it appears that I have a “Hyperdense Cyst” on my left kidney, the Consultant has suggested that I need another CT scan which after he has seen the results will discuss them with the MDT. Am I worrying about nothing or has anyone been in a similar position.

As an aside, it is painful, more of a constant dull pain between my ribs and hip with the odd stabbing pain on occasion 

  • Hello Woody21 and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling poorly and understandably worried but I'm glad you went to see your doctor about these symptoms you have.  

    When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers on an online forum, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better.  And the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor.

    I hope this is helpful.  

    Best wishes,
