CYSTS

Looks like the wonderful world of cysts may be a fibro thing.

HOW does anyone REALLY get their Doc to listen and DO something? Maybe it's because I live in a (much too) relaxed rural hick small town area, I don't know. But even the Specialists in Springfield don't listen or care.

I had a 3mm cyst on my left kidney. The doc never even told me about it. I happen to find out from a teck that saw it and decided to run an extera test. A few months later I was moving to another state. So I went to the hospital and got a copy of ALL my records.

I read every page of every report. It took me another 2 years to get someone to listen to me. They did a needel biopsy durring a CT. The doc called me on the phone and said" we dont know if you have cancer or not. We will check it again in 6 months". I just about lost it. I called my mother crying histericaly. We keept pushing and found a doc that wanted to go in and do surgery to biopsy my kidney. They removed my Left kidney. There was no cancer, (thank the good Lord) but, I had a cyst in my kidney that was 11 pounds. the 3mm they saw was just what was pushing out of the shell of a kidney I had left.

Now remember, not everyone is the same. But I would push for them to look a little better.

I would push also. I live in a small hick rural area in Nebraska, the village that I live right outside of only has a little over 200 people in it. Anyway, I go to a clinic only about 11 miles away in a town that only has about 1000-1500 people. My doc there when he found out about my first cyst on a breast sent me directly to a Women's Cancer Clinic over an hour away. I would do anything even if it is getting ahold of a cancer center and talking to someone there. Please try and find someone.
