Kidney abnormalities: "calcific densities" in the kidneys usually represent calcifications or stones, depending on any other associated findings they may have mentioned. Sometimes kidney tumorsay calcify, but they would have mentioned any finding concerning for this. Cysts are very common, and if they meet certain well defined criteria (bozniak classification), they are usually benign and need no further follow up.

Accepted Answer

Try not to worry: What you describe may literally be nothing! If you can get a good urologist and seek their opinion.  Generally this finding would not be cancer, but the usual way to tell is follow it and see if it grows (with a CT scan every few months).  Surgery to investigate is not out of the question, but not suggested by anything you have mentioned here.  Hope this is nothing and you stay healthy!
