Question on growing kidney cyst

@chrischris595 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I agree that your medical team is concerned, from the oncologist and radiologist. Ask each of them for the name of a urologist the recommend, and push for an appointment as soon as possible. Take copies of reports, even though the new urologist may want to repeat some screening tests.
I had what was thought to be a renal tumor, but as we watched and waited for things, the urologist I consulted determined it was a cyst due to the nature of its presence. So, now I am just knowing it is there, and not too worried at the moment.

Thank you for replying. I’ve just been scheduled with urologist after my oncologist called him. This is a new urologist to me and the verdict is still out as to whether I will be seeking a different one. It took forever to get an appt. for recurring complex bladder infections. He saw my cyst on a renal ultrasound his office performed. Barely commented on it. I wasn’t impressed with him. I’ve already decided that should he now request surgery or a procedure, I am seeking a 2nd opinion at a University Medical Center, but that means 3-4 hr. drive.
Sorry about your cyst!
