Ask how many RCC patients he has handled and how many nephrectomies he has performed. Will the surgery be open or laparoscopic? How big is the tumor on your kidney? Ask them to do a ct of your chest abdomen and pelvis to determine if it has spread. What is the complete treatment plan? Before making decisions try to get to an RCC specialist. They have the up to date information on treatment. Where are you located?

2 months agoI am located in Vancouver, Washington. Across the river is Portland, Oregon. The cancer was discovered with a Preventative CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvic area. I had expanded genetic testing . It was found that I have two gene mutations. Thank God for this testing. Without it I would of never had the scan thus never found the kidney cancer. My first urologist appt is this Wednesday . Thank you all so much.
