Help clear my mind.
I need some help clearing my mind. I have health anxiety for about two to three years now. I have had a lot of diaherra and engery level issues over that time. Fast forward to now I thought I had my finally answer. I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. I had a partial kidney removal a few months ago and have been feeling great. Engery levels were back and stomach issues were gone. Drs said my tumor wasn't causing any systems.
My pathology report was as follows KIDNEY: Nephrectomy SPECIMEN Procedure: Partial nephrectomy Specimen Laterality: Left TUMOR Tumor Focality: Unifocal Tumor Size: Greatest Dimension (Centimeters) - 2.6 x 1.6 x 1.4 cm Histologic Type: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma Histologic Grade (WHO / ISUP): G2, nucleoli conspicuous and visible at 400x magnification, not prominent at 100x magnification Tumor Extent: Limited to kidney Histologic Features: Sarcomatoid or rhabdoid features not identified Tumor Necrosis: Not identified Lymphatic and / or Small Vessel Vascular Invasion (excluding renal vein and its segmental branches and inferior vena cava): Not identified MARGINS Margin Status: All margins negative for invasive carcinoma
This was the end of my treatment other than follow up scans. Fast forward to this week my health anxiety has returned as well as my stomach issues. My question is could this cancer have spread from somewhere else to my kidney or would that show up differently on pathology report? Like if pancreatic cancer spread to my kidney would it still show up as kidney cancer? I know Probaly a question for my Dr but I just hate running to them all the time as I just got out of that funk.
