My partner had a full nephrectomy in 2022 aged 42 due to a 15cm tumour being found on his right kidney. Thankfully he's been cancer free since then, made a full recovery and been living a normal life. Today he received his routine ct scan results over the phone. They've found a 2cm "cyst" with an 8mm hard centre on his remaining kidney. Actually told him that it was 1.5cm at last year's scan (with no hard centre) despite them telling us at the time that there was no issues with his scan, not sure if this is normal?
Next steps: They said he needs an MRI scan. I guess this is to determine if it's benign or the other thing again.
Just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar. Obviously thinking the worst that the big C is back as its another issue with his kidney. Also worried that he only has the one kidney left now so what happens if they can't preserve it?
