I had a CT scan today of my kidneys and bladder. They told me I have several large stones in one kidney and smaller ones in the other kidney. In addition, I have a tumor or cyst on one of my kidneys that has been under observation for the last 5 years. My Urologist left town on vacation today before the scan results came back. He will be back in a few days. Currently, I do not have any pain in my kidneys, just passing a lot of blood and some burning when I go. I am on some heavy duty antibiotics for what they say is a recurring bladder infection.
I read all the posts here and am really hoping I don’t get the pain being described. I really want them to remove the tumor or cyst but the doctors say the benefits of removing this tumor or cyst do not out weigh the risk I may not survive the surgery due to my cardiac issues. I have a pace maker / defibrillator implant and it has jump started me once. That was painful in itself.
Bottom line is my health is a mess. Not looking for sympathy. Just trying to ready myself for this next chapter in the journey of life.
Thank you everyone for sharing your information.
