Hi everyone, 

They recently discovered an incidental exophytic tumour arising from the lower pole of my right kidney - it was around 4 weeks ago that I had the results of the CT scan. The tumour is mixed density, 1 cm x 1.3 cm and showing some soft tissue enhancement. So they have told me it is highly likely to be malignant and are treating it as such...

So my next steps are an MRI and meeting with the surgeon to discuss options. 

I am currently on active surveillance following the MDM. 

I am concerned about the exophytic aspect of it and that it seems to be growing on the kidney... 

The wait is tough and eager for the MRI! 

Any advice or thoughts would be amazing x
