I am sure that your oncologist will have some ideas and answers, she was always very responsive and super smart so far. 👍 I know that those kidney cysts can be benign and are often seen and discovered by accident during CTs and it is very realistic possibility since it was there before. 🍀 CT can see weird and unrelated things - I for example have benign cyst in my liver and I even have unidentified "artifact" on the left side of my lower abdominal wall 😬 ?!?!?! The comment said : "probably result of previous procedure", meaning somebody left something after surgery BUT , I NEVER HAD SURGERY 😵💫 So ...👽 ???
I am keeping my fingers crossed that your L4 is "nothing" too 🍀✨.
I was just thinking - did you check your thyroid function recently ? Sometimes it can effect wight and RBC count. Just a thought .

My oncologist said the following about my L4, I of course, have not included her exact words.
The area in L4 is not bigger. It is expected that there would be changes over time (like scar tissue) so there is no good reason to think this is progressive disease at this point. She did say that there was no way To really see if it’s a metastasis again, An MRI wouldn’t do it. Since I came up undetectable again this month so a PSMA PET scan wouldn’t work.
She had the urologist review the kidney issue and he wants another CT scan in six months. My wife had a partial nephrectomy, I wonder if I’m going to end up with one of those another six months to a year.
There still isn’t any simple answer for why my blood test are so strange and jumped so quickly. One good thing is a lot of other blood test came up either normal or just slightly low for RBC and hemoglobin. Those numbers haven’t changed much at all in the last year.
I actually seem to have gained 1 pound.
