Hi everyone - new here
Have a 5cm mass in right kidney.
Just got a date through for the follow up after my 1st CT that was done end of last week, a chest CT is now also wanted and that’s in for next week so they have this imaging aswell for the follow up. Tad worrying when asked for a 2nd CT even though told nothing to worry about. Radical nephrectomy was mentioned in a brief conversation today….yikes….all a bit scary, slightly numb, all getting very real. Waiting, the unknown and lack of control are not my favorite things.
Lucky this has been found now and can get dealt with as had no clue until was discovered in a ultrasound that was done alongside a cystoscopy to investigate non -visible haematuria found in urine tests done for something else.
So that’s me, hi and time to start the next leg of this journey with you all.
Welcome! You're right, the waiting and lack of control are the worst thing but we've all been through it and it does get better once all the investigations have reported back and you know what's to happen next. There's always someone here with the same experience as you and ready to help. You articulate a pragmatic attitude. Hope you're not waiting too long. The holiday period is not the best time to be in a queue . . . . It was xmas inbetween my treatment decision and starting treatment in Jan, so I know what it's like.
