Scheduled for kidney surgery

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.

Thank you.
I am considering watching and waiting for one more year.
Question is it the right kidney that is 1.8 and watching?

@conniefg I believe @collegeprof had an freezing or ablation of a kidney tumor. Hoping he will check in with his experience, so you will be able to listen to that.
