    Default Kidney Biopsy

    I'll be going in for a kidney biopsy this Friday. MRI shows a 3.8cm(golf ball) size tumor on my right kidney. Dr doesn't think it is related to GPA but we have to see if it's just a cyst or a renal cell carcinoma. Either way they don't want to remove the entire kidney since I do have GPA. I am hoping and praying it is just a cyst but either way I will move forward. I'll give an update once I know the results which should be next week.

    Nothing can break you; you are much stronger than you think... look at what you've already survived.
