Any experiences with Cryoablation for renal cell carcinoma (RCC)?

Yes I had a mri I April to determine why I have neuropathy in my legs and feet. They discovered, per the report, at least a 7.5 mass on right kidney. Highly suspected renal cell carcinoma.. so I have been put in for a cat scan with contrast. But haven't gotten that yet either. Nor a dr appointment.. I'm frustrated but I have not gotten any response 😒

@rx2rich Before you have that CAT scan, I would ask to make sure your eGFR is at a good level. Contrast material can be hard to clear from the kidneys when our function is lowered [usually anything from 30 or lower should be careful for contrast scans].

Since the initial MRI was not for the kidneys, I hope you are able to get that appointment sooner than later. Ask them to be placed on a cancellation list; that might speed the response. Call and ask what the hold up is to getting an appointment!
