@goibib Ah, yes, the addition of other health issues will often have our medical team hesitate to proceed full bore, definitely! I hope that the urologist's thoughts are correct. In my case, they had decided what was a probable renal cell tumor would result in removal of my kidney once I started dialysis. Then the determination of it being a complex cyst rather than tumor was a relief to everyone, including me!

Please let me know how I may support you, will you?
Ginger

Thanks Ginger. I truly appreciate your offer and will definitely ask you if I am told things that don't make sense to me.
I forgot to mention that I am going for blood tests this coming Thursday. Maybe he will have more to tell me then. Will let you know. By the way I live in South Africa.
Oh and I wanted to ask you if you are on dialysis? He told me that if the cancer grows and they have to remove the kidney I will go straight onto dialysis.
