Sorry you are sufferring like this. Not had this, but know the reputation of kidney stones to cause awful pain.

What advice were you given? Is there something specific that is worrying you?

It is never cancer until they say it is.

I have had kidney stones and they hurt.

Good news re the scan. Anyone with health anxiety will understand the catastrophic thoughts but they are just that. I know of 2 very elderly people who were investigated for possible kidney cancers abd there are 2 important things for you to remember 1) the symptoms were not as dramatic as you are experiencing (much more akin to kidney stones) 2) neither of them had cancer. I am talking people in their 80s and 90s.
