the ct scan was ordered after a u/s. I have been having bleeding in urine, severe left abd pain reaching into my back, bleeding after intercourse, and several hospitalizations to control the pain. Could a growth this size cause this much trouble? Sorry meant to include that I was negative for kidney stones.
