Hello
My Mum has Kidney Cancer, she has a 5cm mass and was meant to be having surgery to remove the whole kidney, but she declined initially because of Coronavirus and now is saying that she does not want to have the operation. She has a CT Scan due this week and it will be a triple phase scan on both kidneys, I will be going eith her of course, as I have been for all her other appointments and shes had CT scans and MRI scans about a year ago. I'm really worried about her and waiting for the results of the CT
