@zenithi, you've been told that you have a renal mass. Were you told that this is kidney cancer?

For most kidney cancers, surgery is the initial treatment (nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy). You can see more information about treatment options for kidney cancer here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/kidney-cancer/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20352669

It sounds like you might need more information about this mass to feel comfortable with your treatment choices. Will you have another consult with your doctor? Have you considered a second opinion?
