Currently on hemo dialysis. ESRD with creatinine at 3.8. Had a cyst scan of abdominal area a d a solid mass was found on my right kidney. Urologist and nephrologist both agree kidney should be removed. I am waiting to go on transplant list, so this really sucks. Anyone have any advice.

I would be inclined to go along with your doctors because this is a lifesaving issue. You may or may not be able to go on the transplant list depending on what they find, but you still have the dialysis option. Many people have been on dialysis for many years. Good luck to you and let us know how it goes. We care!
