Hi all,
Had a nice phone call with the Royal Free this morning, which was bang on time. For those that don't know, I have one remaining kidney and been under active surveillance for almost a year, due to a tumour. The tumour is behaving itself, but growing and on balance is likely to be malignant.
The upshot is that I will be having a partial nephrectomy. We did discuss freezing if off, which is less intrusive, but it requires an upfront biopsy and in my opinion delay the inevitable. The mass is type 1a and highly operable. I am very relieved at the result, as I found active surveillance rather stressful. I've had plenty of ops, including a radical cystectomy and a nephrectomy, so I'm not phased.
All in all, very relieved.
