8.4 cm tumor on right kidney: What questions should I ask?

@deebee41 Than you for replying. How long ago was your treatment? Mine has apparently grown to the edge of my liver and there is suspected necrosis which does not bode well. Everything I read says the larger the tumor the more likely it’s spread metastasized. I tell myself to stay off the internet but I come across all this stuff as I’m trying to educate myself. Waiting for appointments has me sleepless and weak from not eating. I wake up and feel helpless and hopeless. I think I need a sleep aid and maybe an antidepressant. I’m so glad I found this site where people are willing to share their experiences. Even if it’s stage four I’m hoping surgery and drugs will give me a few months.

@msvjv You are reading the experiences of @deebee41 and @ronsale, and I hope that is giving you some relief. Be careful about things you read, and go to trusted sources. It's way too easy to "go down a rabbit hole" when we start searching for information, isn't it? And it's like getting a firehose of things thrown at us!
Remember, each of us has our own story. Things you might read as you research doesn't mean that will happen to you. Walk away from all that, grab a cuppa tea and a few cookies, just relax. Place trust in your medical team, ask them the questions you need to ask. Write down your concerns, journal a letter to your body and ask how you can honor it.

My procedure was done this year in March. I hope you can find a solution for this unnerving condition. Where are you located ?
