Hi....with me they told me what the cancer was called after doing the biopsy. The MRI was to make sure it had not spread to other places in my body. I have renal cell carcinoma. It had not spread. Was contained in the kidney. I was sent straight to an oncologist who started me on a treatment......a pill called Votrient. They also had a dietician there who gave me the foods to eat and what to avoid or limit. I have been on the treatment for a year and my MRI showed last month that the cancer was stable. Unfortunately I am supposed to have 800 mg of Votrient but can only manage 400mg because of the nausea. I don't know if any of this will be of any help but please let us know how you get on. 🙏

In my experience I had symptoms of blood in my urine, and a CT showed the growths/tumors. It's not possible to tell fir certain that it's cancer without a biopsy... but they can tell that it's something that should not be there. My urologist recommended my surgeon... and after meeting him, I had confidence in him. I also researched his reviews. We opted for surgery and made a plan for what would be done during it , given the size of the tumor. I had partial nephrectomys which means removal of tumor and reconstruction of the kidneys with robotic technology...so it was less invasive... about 7 small incisions instead of large ones.
