On my hospital letter to GP it describes my growth as a large lesion and though I know this is a Timor I guess it’s slightly different , abnormal cell area which makes me think that it is more aggresive . I know I should not 2 nd guess but the build up to my oncologist appointment is looming. Also I know it is a personal decision to ask about prognosis but I am very anxious about this and might just want to talk about my condition and treatment plan . Can anyone tell me how it plays out at these appointments.

    No symptoms apart from the haematuria. Some days I don't quite feel 100% though, and a bit more tired than usual as I wake up once or twice a night to go and pee. But no pain or discomfort, I cannot even feel the enlarged kidney.

  • I believe they refer to them as lesions until know what it is. 

    Mine was 5cm, there was a possibility it was oncocytoma as this and RCC look similar on the imaging. 

    I feel very very  lucky to have the consultant I have, she has been amazing, explains things well and really thorough. 

    If you have questions ask them, i wrote down things that popped into my head on the run upto 1st appointment. 

  • Oh thank you for your sizing by cm , this has put my mind to rest thank you for that Pray
