Hello, I am a 74 year old lady and I went to the doctor last Dec,and they found a 4 cm cyst on my left kidney, and all they said was, we will keep an eye on it,,,well here it is 11 months later and my last xray says it has grown to 7 cm,,and they still say we will keep an eye on it, but I forced the issue and my doctor contacted the reader of the xrays, and he said its a fluid filled cyst,not to worry about it,,,however, I had a cyst on my right breast 4 years ago that was cancerous and I had a lumpectomy,and so far it has been o.k.
What I want to know is should I push the issue again and ask for a sample to be taken of my kidney cyst, or should I just wait and see what happens??
