Personal symptoms of renal cancer
Hi there! I'm very eager to hear about the symptoms that people have experienced before they were diagnosed with renal cancer. I know that many were found "by accident" with no previous symptoms. I've also read that kidney cancer isn't supposed to cause pain, though many experience it. This being said I would dearly love…

CT scan results
Hello all, I had my 6 month post nephrectomy ct scan yesterday. Today my doctor called and said there is a spot on the scan where my kidney used to be. He said it is most likely a seroma (at least that is what I think he called it). I have to have a pet scan on Friday to make sure. Does anyone have experiences with seromas?
