Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should first get done ultrasound examination of abdomen.
Ultrasound is the screening test for any abdominal mass.
And possibility of mass lesion is more in your case since you have not done follow up after rrnal cancer surgery.
So get done ultrasound examination of abdomen and rule out renal mass on right side.
