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.

  • So pleased everything sinister was ruled out for you! As for the deficiencies I can relate. I have to have b12 injections. Taking things like PPI's can stop you from absorbing things as they reduce your stomach acid which is what is needed for absorbsion. Hope you get it all sorted. Thanks for replying xx
