		<description>Hi Andy, thanks for the day by day on your situation.. 

 I  was struck  in  a head on auto collision 12-18 while driving  from California USA  to Oregon  USA to a  Christmas stay with friends,  I had no broken bones or  major damage,  but the ER CT scan they do revealed a 7 cm mass on my L kidney with instruction to see my  own Dr. right away.    After some scheduling problems in Jan.  I had another CT scan 2-25 here in Calif. , and now will consult with  a urologist next week for the results. My own private Dr. called to tell me &quot;yes I may need  surgery, and no &#039;mets&#039;&quot; as you all say,  on the CT report, but until I have the consult with urologist  I won&#039;t know anything else.  I have overdone the reading online and scared myself silly, this was before I  heard  from my Dr.  a day ago. 

So knowing I may be losing a kidney is  actually making me calmer, than not knowing anything.   Not sure what comes after the consult, but  finding an online group was important to me as I am on the computer all the time in my  business chatting with groups in my niche of  alternative housebuilding, so this is a comforting approach, to find a  specialty RCC  group to talk with.

thanks again for your efforts to inform others, and good health to you.</description>
