Best wishes for your husband to continue to get better. You've been thru so much.
My kidney tumor was found last April when they performed a scan for an appendectomy. It's still in me. They did an mri a few weeks ago and in 7.5 months it has grown from 1.4 cm to 1.6 cm. I just want this thing out of me! The surgeon is reluctant to cut because I have MS and I'm in my 60's. I see him in a few weeks and hope we set an operation date. Not that long ago, they just routinely took the whole kidney. Wonder why that changed?

@donnachaidh prayers for you as you go forward. Not sure why the hesitation about removing the kidney. Many folks have told us they have survived well with one kidney. God bless.

@donnachaidh, have you met with your oncologist to discuss treatment options? How are you doing?
