Small indeterminate kidney lesion - Very Nervous

@abbigail89 not only am I a patient but also a nurse. My opinion is that all lesions should be thoroughly investigated and that a good primary care physician when asked will refer you to a kidney doctor for ultrasounds and other testing.
The last thing a good doctor wants to say is “i’m sorry”.
My son’s tumor was found similarly; peace of mind is worth waiting out a growing unknown mass! Get a good nephrologist or urologist in on your case as that is their specialty. Good luck and be your own best advocate!
My son took this advise and he is doing well and being followed closely by primary, nephrologist, urology and oncologist- a good team for him!

@susanris my primary care office called me 4 times yesterday asking if I’m okay. Did I need anything how am I feeling. They never called from my blood work over a month ago that they had ordered. These calls were coming from the main dr that owned the clinic. My actual primary has yet to give me a call or say a single word at all. I’m sure she’s embarrassed because all of this could have been avoided back in January. Or maybe she feels bad because back in January I asked for further testing and she said no it wasn’t necessary wasn’t anything to even be concerned about. But yes today I’ve spent all morning looking for a good urologist and nephrologist.
