Small indeterminate kidney lesion - Very Nervous

Posted by am1974 @am1974, Nov 14, 2023

Hello All: I am new here. Just had Abdominal CT Sscan due to right side cramp/discomfort and it found a 11mm indeterminate lesion on right kidney. I am in the process of getting an MRI as recommended by the reading radiologist. I am very nervous and just wanted to know your thoughts or any helpful guidance or insight. Thank you so much in advance.

@abbigail89 sounds like the opposite of my doctor. Not very good. Have you considered changing doctors?

You need to relay this incident to your Dr. when you see them. Most often, I've found they don't know about these kind of incidents. When it happened a 2nd time, I asked him if he thought it would be fair for me to send a bill for the gas $ (we live an hour out of town) & my time. That was several years ago, and it hasnt happened since. I have been continually amazed at how inept many physicians' receptionists are.
