I recently was diagnosed with right renal Bosniak 2F cyst and left adrenal adenoma, I am very worried, I had left breast cancer in 2014, radiation treatment in 2015 ended up with radiation burns and had to stop last 4 treatments and went to a wound center, it was a very upsetting and trying time, but with my recent diagnosed kidney problems, I am scared and the urologist wants to wait 6 months and then recheck, I think they should do needle biopsies now, I don't think waiting 6 months is alright, has anyone out there been through this? What are your thoughts/or advise?

Welcome to our community! If they believe the cysts are benign and not causing problems for you currently, waiting may be appropriate. However, you should feel comfortable with the decision, so I would suggest talking with your doctor more about why they are waiting and your concerns. You can also seek a second opinion if you wish as well. Here is some information on simple kidney cysts you might find helpful as well: kidney.org/atoz/content/sim...
