@fay48, I can absolutely feel the stress and understand the confusion that your sister is experiencing. I commend you for making this your first post on Connect on behalf of your dear sister. As for myself, I have no knowledge or experience with her condition, however, I do believe that your sister should seek a 2nd opinion. Is there a major medical center or a major university teaching hospital nearby that you can contact for an appointment/2nd opinion?
If you would like get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, you can find the contact information for the Minnesota, Arizona and Florida campuses here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.
Fay48, did the current doctor give you any idea of the when he would plan the surgery?

@fay48 @rosemarya Your sister's condition sounds like something I nearly experienced. I had a small canceeous mass on my right kidney but my urologist suggested I see an interventional radiologist. He did a procedure called cryoablation where he froze the mass and it later disapated as this was done as an outpatient. I fully recovered. I have had robotic surgery as well, but in other areas. @rosemary brings an important that a 2nd opinion may be vital. In any case, I wish her and her family the best for a speedy recovery.

Thank you so much, we actually live in Australia, but thank you again we will definitely be getting a 2nd opinion and 3rd if we need to. Wishing you good health.
