Complex renal cyst upper left lobe

Trace blood is how they found my tumor, too. But again, you're fortunate that you found yours early - mine wasn't found until it was almost 10cm.

It's a shock for sure - no one is ever ready for such news. But if an immature potato-shaped shlub like me could get through it, you will, too!

We're with you!

Mine was also found by microscopic blood in my urine during a routine physical. At the size you stated, they’re pretty small. Mine was 1.5 cm. The urologic oncologist I had recommended active surveillance, with scans (alternating between CT and ultrasound every six months) to be sure it was malignant before having it removed. He assured me that things this size in the kidney usually grow very slowly and rarely, if ever, spread. My merry-go-round started in late 2013 and it wasn’t until April, 2016 that a scan showed very minimal growth to 1.7cm. He referred me to a surgeon and in June, it was removed through a robotic partial.

Keep us up to date on what the urologist says. We’ll be here for you every step of the way.

At 1 or 2 cm.it (they) are small. The word Kidney Cancer sure scared the S--- out of me, but that was almost 20 years ago. Yes I had surgery to remove it. Yours may be a little small for that yet. Hopefully nothing, but you are going thru the process.
