Not sure really where to start as I guess this might all be for nothing. But I have had a pain in my right side for months and months now. Went to the GP in June and he referred me for a scan, we thought it might be my gallbladder.
Fast forward to last Wednesday when I finally had my ultrasound scan. They didn't tell me anything when I was there, and had a phone call from my GP yesterday lunch time.
He basically told me I have a 4cm growth on my right kidney and they need to refer me for an urgent CT scan. He said best case scenario it's a cyst and they'll do nothing, worst case scenario I'll have to have my kidney removed.
I'm a nurse so have some idea of what's going on, but my main concern is that if it was a fluid filled cyst they would have picked it up on the US scan. So obviously my thoughts are going to worst case scenario. Especially as I haven't been well for a while, I thought I had long covid.
Now I'm in a weird place of waiting, where everything could be absolutely fine (although not because I'm still getting pain) so yeah, I guess I just figured I'd share where I'm at.
Does anyone have any similar experiences with this?
