Need help
Hello Everyone, please help as i am very worried and anxious. I had Ct Scan for other issues and the report shows 1.4 Cm cysts in the left kidney and 1.1 in the right kidney. It says the largest has lesions have higher HU for simple cysts. Further evaluation with US needed. I did follow up with US and the report is: there…
New and depressed
I am new to the board. Have been reading everyone's story and response. Unfortunately I am here because of my 42 year old son. He just had a radical nephrectomy on the 15th. Still in pain and recovery. I have read a lot on the new treatments but only a few people are helped by them and kidney cancer is still one of those…
My annual scans (2 1/2 years post-surgery)
Scanxiety comes at me in such strange ways. I didn't feel scared or nervous about this year's scans, but worry definitely crept back into my head.

Renal Cell Carcinoma
How long does it take to recover from a radical nephrectomy (left kidney removed) ? I have a 12 inch scar and my stomach is still numb 7 mths later! I often have inflammation internally. I was just wondering if this is normal 7 mths after surgery?

Almost 15 years ago...
I got that bad news phrase, "the US found a mass in your kidney......and one or two in your liver." First you cry, then you look for resources, then you pull up your big girl panties and decide to fight it to live. Just had my Onc. nurse visit. After my eGFR took a brief dip into Stage 4 CKD, it has come back up. I've been…
Rough 2 yrs
Hi, I joined our group in 2016, 9 cm tumor accidentally found, radical nephrectomy, no evidence, stage 2. Then in Aug 2019 a 4 cm RCC tumor in L5 vertebrae, extending into mussel. I had noticed changes how my body was different in 2018, but was informed each scan I was cancer free. Good scan I was told. Had 2 choices,…

Living with one kidney
On my daughters 12th birthday, I was diagnosed with a large mass in my left kidney that was diagnosed as stage 3 cancer and required a radical nephrectomy. Fortunately, it was confined and there was no evidence of spread to the surrounding lymph nodes so I will not need further treatment, just scans to watch for…
