I know this is an older post, I just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing. I'm looking for my 4th yr (clean) check up in January. I had a renal cell carcinoma, in my right kidney. It was removed via cryoablation (frost bite), so I was lucky as to not have to get cut open. I still have about 1\2 of that kidney left and all of my right.
attached are a couple my bulls last yrs and this yrs, and hope for lots more. Good Luck to you this up coming yr. Squidward
