Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have high chance of cancer. You should go for ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of your kidney lump. If it is positive for cancer then you should go for nephrectomy (removal of kidney). Then you should take chemotherapy according to stage and grade. Consult your doctor and go for it as early as possible. Because if you take late decision then chances of spread is more.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
