← Return to Kidney tumors in remaining kidney: What are our options?

Hi Everyone,
I am hoping for some feedback and support. The nutshell is that my Dad has one kidney because about 20 years one was removed because they found a large tumor. Fast forward, 2007 they found two small "lesions". His doctor recommended watching them. For 17 years they were stable - unchanged. Suddenly, in June 2024, they grew from about 2 cm to 6.7 cm. The second one is a bit smaller. His doctor wants to see him every 3 months. He is going for scans this week and I'm super nervous. He recently had bloodwork and his creatinine number was 1.4 (stable for him) but he is very fatigue. He will wake up, have breakfast, then lay down again. If he does a task, he gets tired pretty quickly. The negatives are that he eats but doesn't have too much of an appetite and he is fatigue. He does not have any body pains or blood in his urine. Has anyone experienced this fatigue? I'm worried about it spreading or anything else.

Thank you in advance.

@daughterofpatient22, thank goodness your father's tumors were being monitored and the care team saw this recent growth. What did the scans show? Will he continued to be observed or are they suggesting treatment at this time?
