angiomyolipoma

Hi could someone help me please, I've been to the hospital this morning and been told I have a 7cm angiomyolipoma on my left kidney, the consultant really wasn't helpful and has fast tracked me for CT scan..do these things get removed? Or are you given meds to control it? I also have a 6cm cyst on right kidney also that I've had for some time now...any information would be much appreciated to stop asking Dr Google and driving myself round the bend!!

  • Hi Jla250777,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. To be honest I'm not sure of the answers to your questions, but you may find it helpful to speak to one of our nurses who will be better placed to advise.

    You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5) or alternatively you can post in the 'Ask the nurses' section of this forum to get a response.

    Hopefully it won't be long for you to wait for your appointment and to get some answers about this.

    Wishing you all the best,
