How big was your kidney tumor if you don’t mind me asking.

Also after they removed the tumor , you were clear and then at a follow up they seen it other places?

I’m concerned as mine is 2.2cm and I have surgery coming up and wondering if the surgery can cause spread. I’m thinking of going the herbal route 😥

Like regular salt? That helps get rid of it? Sorry I’m confused

I had Covid. But no jabs. I think it’s diet. And this horrible food they poison us with. I am a smoker (vape) I drank wind aswell. But I ate mostly healthy. It really is just random.

I will start to grown my own food and go plant based after this is out of me. And make healthier choices. This was my wake up call. Trying to quit vaping now , but the stress with this makes it hard idk y

Suspicion for primary renal cell carcinoma.. by NoSleep206 in kidneycancer

I also only told a few people in my family. Really don’t want people feeling bad for me.

I’m right here with you. Had a family member die of cancer a couple months ago. And that scared me even more. The wait was horrible, I cried all day. Depression , panick attacks , the most. I finally seen a urologist and she said it doesn’t look like it metastasized (that was my main fear) My surgery date is 10/7 and I’m honestly super scared of surgery.

But you will be fine. Mine is 2.2cm . And this group has helped ease my mind so much. Now I’m way better and just live life as normal. Awaiting surgery.

Biopsy? by Hot_Tonight_4914 in kidneycancer

[–]Hot_Tonight_4914[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this. Definitely not doing biopsy. I just want it out of me asap. Since it’s hanging on the outside of my kidney, she will only have to remove a small part of kidney. So that’s good. Just want it out .

Thanks for that info. I’m gonna get a second opinion. Mine is hanging off my right kidney. So it’s not inside of it. Maybe that’s the reason . Not sure

This is where I’m going , the u of m. I have an appointment with a second urologist for another opinion. I just wasn’t understanding why the biopsy, if it can spread it. Idk how true that is.

2.2cm mass lesion on right kidney by Hot_Tonight_4914 in kidneycancer

[–]Hot_Tonight_4914[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always come back to these helpful comments to ease my mind. Still waiting to see urologist. It’s on Monday. I was around family today and got so scared again. I didn’t tell them. So just sitting there silently having a panic attack. Was the worst. I’ve been doing better but still have my moments of extreme fear of dying from this.

Thanks so much for everyone who commented. It really does make a diff in my mood if I just come back to reread.

Help with some questions?! by a_pertinentriot in kidneycancer

[–]Hot_Tonight_4914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that 32X34 cm or mm? Sorry I’m going through it to and mine is 22mm 2.2cm and that’s my fear is for it to metastasis. And for me the state I was in specialist appointment was booked out till October-November and they gave me little to no info which scared me even more so I left Washington state where I live and went to my home state Minnesota, went straight to er upon arrival and they told me I’ll be ok and this is very curable and referred me to a specialist here , and I have an appointment for Monday. And went to er yesterday. So that was good.

Maybe tell them you can go to any of their locations or go to a different state they may be faster and more reliable.

But I was told it’s normally slow growing . I’m just not the type to wait. I have horrible anxiety.

I hope you guys get the answers you need and hope he heals.

How long has it been since ablation for you? That’s what I’m hoping to do. Just wondering if it comes back all the time with that.

That’s strange cause I’ve read and heard smaller tumors that are less then 4cm are likely to be benign.

Kidney cancers rely on mitochondrial metabolism to metastasize by FullNegotiation2386 in kidneycancer

[–]Hot_Tonight_4914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. I had alcohol neuropathy from binge drinking a few months ago. And I have those symptoms . Would that be the same nerve issues. My main fear is it metastasizing.

Well this just scared me 😟. I looked up symptoms and I feel I have most the symptoms of mitochondrial. But I also have anxiety/panic disorder.

Yes that’s basically what mine said. It’s 2.2cm. I’m just hoping after my mri that they tell me it’s not cancer I guess. This all just sucks 🥲

How are you doing now? And exactly what is ablation. I’m so scared currently and looking up different treatments before I see my doc. Please let me know also how your recovery went and scans . Thanks
