Does Discomfort Under My Ribcage Indicate Recurrence Of Renal Cell Carcinoma?
I have discomfort, not pain but the feeling of something under my left rib cage. I had a mass removed on my right side 4 years ago from renal cell carcinoma. i have not follwed up with my urologist since my surgery. I m scared its back. Is there any way to know without seeing a dr?
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.
