Diagnosed with renal masses on both kidneys, how long do I wait?

I am in a similar situation and hoping to have cryoablation to the mass in my left kidney. I’ve had pet scan, ct and mri. No definite determination that the mass is cancer. I have an appointment in 2weeks with an oncology urologist. I’m worried about waiting. Twenty + years ago I had breast cancer and 5 years later cancer in the other breast. Both times I found the lumps myself and saw a doctor immediately. Should I try to get a sooner appointment?

I try to be proactive when it comes to healthcare. It relieves the stress of not knowing. If you are able to make an earlier appointment, then please do. My cryoablation was determined by the radiologist 15 years ago. There may be other alternatives by other specialists. With the 3 tests, I am surprised the docs could not give you an answer. A biopsy may be the next step. I wish you the best for a quick determination.
