I have just been diagnosed with kidney cancer
Waiting for a radical nephrectomy right kidney had a ct scan sized at 7.4cm when i received that info thought it wss a huge size
Does anybody know if the sizing done is accurate
Trying to keep my mind focused on the fact its been found now but its all a bit of a roller coaster
So they did not grade your tumor or say if it was contained within the kidney or not? Sorry for asking questions, I am just wondering because the size of your tumor was relatively small compared to some I have read about that never spread.
Yes, it spread to the lungs. That was confirmed by the CT scan on diagnosis.
We never discussed grade. It was categorised as IMDC = 2, poor risk.
