Hello,
I was diagnosed with a left side kidney lesion measuring 1.8cm X 8mm, partly cystic and solid just last week. I have a CT scan next week but in the meantime I have thought of several symptoms I’ve been having. I’ve been having dulls pains in my head for quite some time now that Ive been attributing to grinding my teeth at night and allergies. Now that I think about it I am terrified it started as a brain tumor or has metastasized into one of those said regions. My question….can renal cancer just give you a headache without metastasizing to the brain?
Hi Gussy,
Hi Gussy can't answer re symptons but on a positive note I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer around Oct 2020. In May 21 two small brain mets were identified but they were successfully treated with stereotactic radio surgery. My 3 monthly MRIs since have all remained clear. Its easy to say but try not to pa ic.
