Hi......I am sorry to hear what they say about the results of the MRI. I hope that when you see the surgeon on Monday he first does a biopsy to make doubly sure. Because mine was contained in the kidney they decided on treatment with the Votrient pill and a diet. Granted the Votrient makes me nauseous and I have lost a lot of weight (one of the side effects of Votrient) but I cannot lose my kidney as the other kidney only works a small bit. I don't want to bore you with my condition but I also have a genetic disease called thin Membrane Disease which put me into stage 4 kidney failure before the cancer came along. Where the cancer came goodness only knows. There's no cancer in my family.
Now I have given you a whole lot of useless information not regarding your problem.....but I truly hope they do a biopsy first to see if they can treat you and keep your kidney. Please keep us posted. Blessings.

It is three in the morning here in Oregon. Thanks for continued information. There is no history of cancer in my family of any kind. However, besides genetics there is environment. I live on a small farm and Am surrounded by nurseries. Between these nurseries and myself we use herbicides to control the weeds. I use them on my little farm to grow weed free hay for my horse. There seems to be a correlation between use of herbicides and renal cell carcinoma. I do not smoke nor drink. I have been a vegetarian for fifty years. However, known carcinogens are in my shed as I write this. Coincidence? I may never know. Now it is me rambling. Thanks so much for sharing. Each and everyone. Those who may just read these posts and those who share. Whatever your belief system is, I pray for each one. Blessings.
