    Hi Peggy, I empathise with how you feel.  I too had a 2cm mass show up on a scan, on my left kidney.  A Urologist suggested to check it again in six months.  That is coming up soon.  They don't seem to take these things seriously till they are at least 4cm it seems.  I am nervous to see if it has grown or changed.  It's a worry isn't it.  Let us know how you go with your scans.
