Hi everyone

I'm 57 and after having a CT scan to check for any abdominal issues (dyspepsia and dysphagia symptoms) it was found that I can a 43mm, heterogeneous enhancing mass lesion on the lower pole of my only kidney.  Also enlarged lymph nodes around the area. 

I saw my urologist the other day who really wouldn't commit to say what it is, but I now have a uro-oncology nurse to contact should I need. 

I am now waiting to have a PET scan, should be within 4-6 weeks. Really wish the wait wasn't so long, I just want to know one way or another, and what is going to be done about it.

I'm numb at the moment, not sure what to think or feel and keeping upbeat so as not to worry my family

Any tips to get through this stage would be amazing and I thank you in advance Blush
