Hi, I am new to this group. There is a 1.6cm lesion found in my left kidney in May which confined in kidney that time. Had another CT scan 10 days ago. The lesion increased to 2.1cm and 3mm nonspecific nodule detected in my lung. When I last met the doctor a month ago told him I have persistent chest pain, but he assured there is 0% chance of spreading on such small lesion. Now it happened and I am worried about this nodule. Has anyone experienced with lung nodule even though small kidney lesion and not cancerous? I have an appointment with consultant next Thursday, wondering if get some advice what to ask doctor? Thanks in advance
Hi MohammedM24
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it useful.
I noted your post had no replies yet and by posting I will bump it back to the top of the group so hope that helps some. My experience with cancer is very different so nothing specific in this forum. Our experience does however show that scans do have a good habit of picking things up that may or might not be something of concern but a series of spaced scans are much more informative.
It might help you to look at the kidney cancer pages to step through how this kind of cancer is diagnosed. It might be you have some of these tests to show if your lesion is cancerous or benign.
It might be worth thinking to if the chest pain could be from something else.
Hope the appointment goes well for you.
<<hugs>>

Thanks Steve for coming back to me a lots of encouragement. I really appreciate
Hi I'm 2 years post op I had half my kidney removed and tumor that was malignant.i also have lung nodules. I have a ct scan every year and been told not to be concerned about them as not chanced in size anything. Have you had biopsy on kidney?? Ask your consultants if your nodules have changed in any way and if he is concerned about them or not good luck xx
