Some of you may have seen my post over in the lounge, but here is the deal. I went in a month ago for a routine 50 year checkup. The urine analysis showed trace amounts of blood and my BUN level was one point above normal. I exercise a lot and bruise easy so I wasn't too worried but did the follow up with the urologist. Cystoscopy was normal but the CT-IVP showed an 8cm mass in my right kidney. At this point it looks like no vascular or lymphatic involvement and the tumor is encapsulated in the kidney. I saw a surgeon today that preforms laproscopic nephtrectomy and he is recommending a removal of the full kidney. I'll hopefully get my surgical date scheduled tomorrow.
