@dougr19 Well, the hurdle is over now, wondering what he might say.
Was there any indication of how soon the procedure should be? What about the thoughts of a kidney biopsy first, to make sure it is a tumor to be addressed?

They want to the partial nephrectomy. They are afraid to do biopsy as it may harm the kidney and be unable to do the partial and lead to radical nephrectomy. It is all percentages. The likelihood of cancer is 80% therefore, they recommend this type of treatment. I will now get other opinions try to make sense of all this. Surgery will most likely take place in the next three months. Thank you for your questions and responses. Blessings.
