Right kidney tumor, appears to be RCC.
I have a small tumor on my right kidney that measures 1.3 cm. I've had 3 cat scans, all show it to be concerning for renal cell carcinoma. I have also had microscopic blood in my urine since 2004 in every single urine test I've taken. My urologist wants me to wait a year to see if the tumor grows and if it does he will remove it. However, it has grown 3 mm in 6 months. Would you agree that I should wait, is this reasonable? I feel like I want it out now.
