Theoretically maybe possible if you correct your urine composition (mostly just drink a lot and avoid foods that cause stones), but practically I absolutely wouldn't count on it with such a large stone. The most conservative option is percutaneous lithotripsy, if that don't work, then they stick something inside one way or another. Just go to a urologist.
>Is it possible that this is cancer and the radiologist just misinterpreted it as a stone?
No, even if it somehow was a cancer producing a stone deposit, it'd have to be a pretty big cancer that would be otherwise visible around the stone.
>supposed to be painful
No, they can just sit there doing nothing and then they don't hurt. What tends to hurt a lot is when small stones enter your urethra, the narrow tubes that go to your bladder, or when your kidney inflames/distends a lot because of a blockage. If it's not blocking urine and not especially inflamed and not entering the urethra, then it doesn't really have to hurt. It still should be removed though, since it can cause all those issues down the line.
