2 cm Kidney Mass

lnmiller456

Hi everyone.

The VA found a 2 cm mass on my husband's right kidney during an US. His CT is scheduled for the end of the month. He is 33, very athletic-he is a competitive strongman-among other things. They only found it because he had protein in is urine. We have 5 kids. So, I am a mess. I am just trying to find some support.

I was married prior, and he was diagnosed with colon cancer at 33 and passed away at 35. My oldest 4 kids are from that marriage. So, to say I am having all the feelings is an understatement. Someone please give me some peace on this not being as bad as my mind is telling me.

hi. I just completed treatment for a newly discovered 2.5x1.7cm cancer. I was scheduled for a robotic partial nephrectomy on Dec 5, and the margins were positive, meaning he didn’t get it all. I waited 3 months and had more X-rays and another Dr visit. I’m cancer free as of 2 days ago.
Clear cell renal carcinoma is usually very slow growing, very treatable with surgery and if still present then crypablation where they freeze the tumor under X-rays guidance. If that doesn’t work and cancer is still present they can take the whole kidney without untoward effects. Your other kidney just works harder. If you’re comfortable with it, please feel free to call me at +17163784427. My name is Mark and I’m 73 years old
