So after being told they think I have Kidney cancer their now saying that they can't tell just by looking at the scans they know the ct scan and ultrasound picked up a mass in one of my kidneys and cysts on the other. Now saying I need a biopsy.i thought they could tell by looking at scans if it was cancer or not.

    I had a biop in feb, was scared but was actually ok.it was cancer and I’ve just returned from the operation a few days ok. 6 years ago I had my other kidney removed , because of tumour, so was petrified, but amazing what the medical profession can do these days . I hope all goes well for you XX

    Prilly thank you I hope I get my appointment quickly to have the biopsy. If it turns out it is cancer I hope I don't have to wait long if they decide to operate. I hope you recover well and stay healthy.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
