INCOMPLETE question: The question is really not complete you had renal cell carcinoma and you did not say if you had partial nephrectomy, it should have been total nephrectomy you say you have a 7mm something around left kidney i wiil suggest you discuss it with your doctors who know your case well to find the significance of this 7mm something.

Worry won't help: 7mm and 7cm are hugely different--which is it? These bumps can be normal anatomy, cysts, abscess or tumors. If you are concerned, seek an biopsy from your physician to alleviate or confirm your suspicions and provide a diagnosis. With a positive history, you are right to be concerned, but not complacent. Worry will not change any outcome!
