@conniefg Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is quite the holiday event to go through, isn't it?!

Have the doctors given your husband any indication what they will do now? Please explain the bilateral cancer.

It's an ok holiday. We're glad the bulky cancer is gone and his surgery was safe.

I wanted to give the person with biopsy concerns some insight that maybe their questionable complex mass could be papillary.

My husband has a left kidney only with some renal disease but it seems to be functioning well post surgery. His left kidney tumor is 1.8 cm. He will scan again in 3 months to see if the tumor has any change. If no, the plan is watchful waiting. At some point they will likely freeze it vs doing more surgery.
