My son had two UTIs and further testing has revealed a mass on his kidney. He has had blood work, VCUG, X-rays, Ultrasounds, MRI and CT scan. The mass appears to be growing during the time from X-ray in May 08 to Aug 08. It is in the center of the kidney and the doctor wants to remove the entire kidney. They have told us it is the only way to determine if it is cancerous, she said even if it were benign, it would still require removal due to the rate of growth.
What are the chances this is renal cell carcinoma?
