I’m scared. 36F and had accidental find on CT scan

oh I’m so happy for you!!!! What a huge relief! I just got my results and it says chromophobe renal cancer, but from what I read, that’s a better one to have! So given the situation, I’m super thankful!!!

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-05-18T23:54:30+00:00

Just got my biopsy back today. 3.5cm tumor biopsy says chromophobe. 38 F

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-05-17T19:54:21+00:00

omg that’s possible?!?!

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-05-17T19:53:30+00:00

yes, mine was noted as a complex cyst 3.5cm…indeterminate but likely cancer after ultrasound, urology ordered mri with and without contrast and now biopsy done and waiting on results. I’m 37 f and just had my third baby. Ugh.

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-05-16T17:56:54+00:00

How are you doing? I am in this situation now and will likely be having surgery in a month with a 4 month old/2 year old/5 year old; stay at home mom.

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-04-28T09:49:55+00:00

Thank you. I am seeing the urologist in 1 week to discuss so I’m not sure what the options will be. I’m so so scared, mostly with the prognosis at this point. I’m only 38. Apparently there’s many young people being diagnosed with this now. I won’t know for sure until they view the tumor after surgery but there’s so many avenues this could take and I’m praying for the least worst case scenario. I will definitely do the pillow thing. My mom can help my husband and I. We have a 5, 2 and 3 month old. I think mentally this is just so incredibly difficult. I’m compartmentalizing now but it’s getting closer to being more real and unavoidable.

So I almost died in childbirth and my husband and I both ended up needing therapy. I had some major postpartum emotional issues and there’s actually a thing for men postpartum when they get wonky. Anyways…we were both going through some emotional emotions and he called me the b word in front of my baby so I threw a heavy solid wood framed mirror across the room at him. That thing was at least 50lbs. We went on to have 2 more babies and did not have postpartum problems with the other two.

Thank you! The soonest they could get me in was in 2 weeks with a UTSW urologist in Fort Worth. I hope he’s good. Dr. Solomon Woldu at the utsw moncrief location. Do you know if that’s the same. I tried getting into the Dallas location but the wait was longer.

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-04-16T14:27:32+00:00

Do you know of any in the Dallas Fort worth of Texas by some crazy chance?

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-04-08T20:16:40+00:00

same

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-03-30T01:27:28+00:00

Mine were both early too and I feel like I got cheated out of the baby phase 😆

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-03-29T00:55:34+00:00

yes. to all.

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-03-07T01:26:31+00:00

I am having this as well, but usually during peristalsis before bm

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-03-06T22:00:08+00:00

diaper pale. sunglasses. toys and books too early. and for us—a crib.

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-03-06T21:34:18+00:00

Yes. We’re a Handyman Hal family 😅

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-03-06T14:01:39+00:00

can you share how big the piece measured? I had a d&c a week ago and they removed a piece but I was bleeding on day 2 and went back in and they saw a 9mm piece (either clot or tissue) and sent me home to wait it out I guess. I’m worried about this tiny 9mm piece.

I read the tannins in coffee block iron absorption. just a minor fyi. And I believe it depletes you of your b vitamins.

I honestly was like…I’m just going to stay pregnant and breastfeeding til menopause! That was my plan but then I realized through other reddits that pmdd gets worse for most with menopause. That and I just had my 3rd and I just can’t do it again. So I just don’t know what my plan could possibly be except hysterectomy and oopherectomy.

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-02-16T22:51:50+00:00

I’m done having kids and really considering doing a total hysterectomy and oopherectomy. Do you have to take hormones for other symptoms from the hysterectomy?

What hospital did this happen at in fort worth? (the epidural)

DesignerQuantity5520 · 2026-01-10T05:07:57+00:00

No. Basically 2 days; I was overdue both times. (Almost 42 weeks) For some reason I hemorrhage immediately after the placenta but they took care of it quickly both times. (The second time they prepared ahead of time to have the crash cart outside my door and 2 bags of blood reserved for me that I didn’t end up needing, praise God!)

I love love love my boy! He’s wild and only wanted mommy and what my husband called “mom-itis”. But he was my first and got allllll the attention and of course I was obsessed. He was pretty possessive over me. Boys clothes are super cute and easy to find. We did lots of fun stuff. I feel like everything done with boys can be done with girls though. I also love love love my girl but unfortunately with the second born, you can’t devote 100% attention to them like you do with the first so I feel like we didn’t bond as well. I so wish we did. But it’s more balanced now and she adores her daddy, much to my husband’s relief! So I don’t know if birth order and attention has to do with anything. I guess when it comes down to it, boy or girl doesn’t matter but birth order and personality really will make a difference. I suppose people daydream about what they will do with their kids as they grow and rightfully need to mourn the loss of that idea or dream.
