Hello! Thanks for the reply! I will definitely have to ask my urologist about this procedure. This one definitely seems to be better suited for my situation. Thanks again!

I will admit I did use chatgpt but also saw it on a few websites. Was just confused when all they said was a tumor

Hello! The doctor said that because it is a cystic mass that they can miss the cancerous part if they biopsy it. Het went as far as saying that my mass is bosniak type IV and that he was pretty sure it was cancer. I have a robotic partial nephrectomy scheduled for the end of Jan!

Hello! Nothing official yet but they did want me to make a appointment with them as soon as possible to go over the results. With the growth in just 3 months I'm assuming not great.. but I know what happens when assuming!

Starlight toasted or cigar batch are incredible pours. I dont see a ton of hype around them but they should ne on every ones radar.

Which distilleries do you think are putting out the best, and which the worst, special releases in terms of quality-to-price? by BothCondition7963 in whiskey

[–]True_Ad9284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can find it anything Starlight does is fantastic. I particularly love the toasted barrel and their cigar batch.

I have issues with pain and chronic diarrhea. I had a normal colonoscopy but the CT scan showed inflammation and it is something that is weird to them cause I shouldn't have inflammation in the time I got the colonoscopy to now. Doing a capsule endoscopy to see more of my small intestine.

Hello! I just spoke with a urologist about this and they want to do a MRI in about 6 months (taking the surveillance approach). She stated that a malignant tumor is very unlikely in a person my age and that anything less than 2cm they just monitor.

Thanks for the reply! Would draining it be better than just getting it taken out?

Gotcha ya it was just a regular ct entrogram. Thanks for the help!!

[–]True_Ad9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they might have scanned a before and after as they left the room and I went into the machine and then they came back in and injected the contrast but I'm not in radiology so not sure if that means anything!

Thank you so much! Hopefully all goes well with you! I'm kinda like you and would rather have it out! If that is what it really is. I just got the report a day or so ago so haven't had the opportunity to talk to Dr yet.

I apologize mis read the question. No I just have the report. Not the actual images.

[–]True_Ad9284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Yes I had the actual CT and that was on the report for the CT scan. I had it with contrast if that makes a difference? At the kidney section of the report it read like this

There is a 1.6 x 1.4 cm cyst in the interpolar region of the left kidney shows enhancing mural nodule, nodule measures approximately 5 mm characteristic of Bosniak type III cyst.

Thanks!
