It's a certainty I have kidney cancer. Now the question is, has it spread.
The 1st scan shows nothing found on pancreas, liver, colon, and testes. Lower right lung nodule found.
Some slight lymph swelling somewhere, I forget.
As I said earlier, I really think brain cancer is a stretch, but I have been wrong before already about this thing I have.
I just wish no new discoveries from the brain and upper chest scan tomorrow.
On Thursday, I will know the results.
Ive read all the posts but don't see a biopsy mentioned. Have they done a biopsy? I'm by no means a doctor, but they found a 3" diameter by 5" long ovarian tumor on my Mom doing an ultrasound looking for kidney stones. They did a hysterectomy and that monster tumor was benign. Unfortunately, 3 years later they found lung cancer (she didn't stop smoking after ovary tumor). The reason I mention this, is one of the best diagnostic tools with her was the PET scan. It's done simultaneous with a CT scan, but it combines imaging with radioactive pharmaceuticals that differentiate tumors from regular cells by metabolic rate. Did you have a PET scan?

Character, above all else
| Sorry to hear the news, lbj. You and your family are in our hearts and prayers at the 'Hook household. To be honest, your outlook on this situation completely humbles me. I especially appreciate your testament to your faith. Hang in there, brother.

| Here are the answers I have to a couple of questions members have asked. My CT scans are twofold, and they include doing the intravenous dye thing that makes one feel hot in certain areas. The one earlier this week was the same way. A biopsy is apparently not needed for this mass on the kidney. It is a certainty it is cancer. Once it is removed, there will be further inspection of it like anything removed from our bodies these days. I can certainly ask on Thursday when we go over the scans from tomorrow as to exactly why it's cancer and the apparent non need to do a biopsy first.
