Hi
I had a nephrectomy in June 23 obviously had yearly scans.
I have been told that I have a renal nodule that is stable on my last two scans has anyone else had these.
Would like to know if it is anything to be concerned about.
Any replies would be helpful.

Rightly or wrongly, a nodule is not something that has worried me. I've been told that I have nodules in my lungs a couple of times but they have either disappeared in the next scan or been classed as benign. I only get worried if the scan frequency is changed as a result of something.
Nodule seems such a gentle word! The other one I've heard is a shadow on my remaining kidney. Also, doesn't seem to cause any concerns.
Hopefully not an issue for you either.
Best wishes.
