Thank you so much for this information. I have a zoom appt with the doc who told me that
he didn't think the RC was such a big operation as to cause too much scar tissue. I will know

@walpi1945 Well, let's be sure it is the renal cancer, first. When I had a suspicious area on my right kidney, we followed it with routine ultrasounds. Measurements, and high-def pictures as much as we could. Since my kidney function was already compromised, I couldn't do contrast exams. Eventually the urologist determined it was a cyst, by comparing the activity of the area. We had planned on removing that kidney after I started dialysis, if need be. I still have my right kidney...

Let me know what the Dr says, okay?
Ginger
