Morning all,
just had my phone appointment. It was from the kidney team (wasn’t expecting it) the scan I had a couple of months ago has shown a 1.6 cm abnormal growth which has a blood flow to it. The lady has told me that because it is under 2cm they cannot do a biopsy to determine what it is. They cannot rule out cancer but are giving me another scan in September to keep an eye on it. She told me not to worry..
in my first TURBT report the notes stat that I have a benign growth on the kidney. I’m hoping they are right.
I feel a bit down now.

Hi Nigel, I can understand how you are feeling. That conversation was unexpected and must have taken you aback. It sounds like you recorded the conversation which is a great idea because we often forget. Listening back to it seems to have eased the worry a little and hopefully you can stay positive and have a lovely weekend.
Much love Angela x
Thank you everyone, I joined the kidney cancer group and was told it was so small that I shouldn’t worry about it.. the nurse who rang me said the same. CT scan in September.
feeling much better…
I’ve still got my appointment on Tuesday with the urology team.
