@cindysummit Perhaps you might: Get an earlier sit-down with your doctor, or get a second opinion form another Urologic oncologist. I would let your doc know that you are more than a bit anxious about the radiology result, and need to talk about it in greater length.
Perhaps your doc has a nurse practitioner in his/her office that will speak with you.
If you are near a university medical center that may be an option, or the Mayo Clinic. I know, it is all dependent on insurance.
I wish you the best.

@mapleskoff

Thank you. He absolutely will not see me before or on 4/8. ..only on e each year.

I think I do want to talk with someone. Both of my patents' had cancer and although I am in remission, I had CHrcc.

I have had two other cysts in my life as well..a large benign ovarian cyst as a kid and a large teratoma in 2022. I am just a little nervous...my do tor, not so.

Thank you for responding. Appreciate that.
