I was recently diagnosed with RCC. I was being treated for a spine problem and the MRI showed a suspicious spot on my left kidney. My spine doctor sent me for an ultrasound which was inconclusive so they then ordered an MRI. They said that they can tell by the way the waves bounce off the tumor or cyst whatever they were calling it at the time that it was not filled with fluid or air but solid and that is a high 90 some percent malignant. Went to the urologist who suggested waiting six months to see what treatment we should do depending on the size since his tumor was small less than 3 cm right now. I just wasn’t comfortable with waiting so she referred me to interventional radiology and I’m looking at him doing an ablation. I was told that they didn’t that they Didn’t usually do a biopsy or any other testing and that the best option was having my kidney removed also. It appears from the research I have done that it all depends on the individual on what treatments are available.

My very best you on making this decision assuming you and your radiologist agree. I really like proactive people.
