I am 36 yrs old and had part of my right Kidney removed in April 06 due to Stage 2 Clear Cell RCC. It was found accidently. Was told that I should never have another problem with this again. I was not given any treatment nor told to see an oncologist. I have had 3 CT's done since then and all have been normal, they thought!!! In October of this year, I was having chest pain and was in the hospital for 2 days and found nothing and was told it was stress. The next week was back in ER but at different hospital. They did a CT of my chest to check for blood clot and discovered 3 noduels in my lungs and emphasema. Had follow up with lung doctor about emphasema and noduels and he said they are so tiny that there is nothing to worry about. He went back and checked my past scans and found the noduels have been there since day one.
Am I crazy for being upset that no one said anything about the noduels until now and was not sent to see an oncologist? Dr wants another scan in 6 months but that has me scarred to wait that long. Any one in the same boat?
