Growth on kidney

Hello, after attending gp yesterday with severe lower left abdomen pain, to the point I couldn't walk unaided, I was sent to hospital for assessment.

I had bloods taken which showed low white blood cells and a trace of blood in my urine and was booked back in today for a CT scan with suspected kidney stones.

 

CT showed a growth on my left kidney and I have to go back for another CT scan with the dye to determine exactly what it is.  The registrar said 50/50 chance it's either cancer or a cyst.

Any support/advice welcome. I am terrified. I have 3 young kids. I'm also waiting on mammogram results (I've had a tender left breast for around a year that was dismissed by my surgery's anp). Mammogram was routine due to family history.

  • Welcome to the forum worrieumof3 although I'm sorry about the growth that's been found on your kidney.

    No doubt this will be a worrying time until you know more but our community are here for you and will hopefully be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    We're thinking of you worrieumof3 and will have our fingers crossed the results of your next CT scan (and your mammogram) bring good news.
