Could Tumor In Kidney With Fluid Around Spleen And Thickening Of Fat Cell Suggest Cancer?

kidney cancer
my dad has a tumor in his kidney and fluid around his spleen and thickenning of the fat cell. we are waiting on results from petscan. doc told us he most likely has kidney cancer. but lately he has been weak, nauseated, taking 4 naps a day, had a fever, and has pain in his right side. to me that all indicates something additional bc the symptoms are more than what kidney cancer says. what are those symptoms sometimes to?

Urologist,  's  Response
hello
Thanks for query .Based on the Ultrasound Scan findings that you have posted I would state that your father has Cancer of kidney which has penetrated through capsule of the kidney and infiltrated in to perinephric fat with reactionary fluid being formed around spleen .

The other symptoms like fever, pain in Rt side of abdomen ,weakness etc are due to generalized debility associated with cancer of kidney and do occur like with cancer of any organ .
