Pelvic lymph node pathology is in.....

My MO called today and told me: "The biopsy/pathology folks at first were confused, they thought for sure is was metastatic PC. But they finally agreed it was either bladder cancer or rectal cancer, which by the way, was probably caused by the 37 doses of radiation after RP."

So now its surgery through the good ol' urethra...... good news is my uro is installing a stent, shunt, tube-open-upper in my blocked left ureter at the same time as bladder inspection. My left kidney is crying for relief. I hope he can open up the lymph system in my left leg too so the insufferable edema will go away.

God Bless

Kidney failure is nothing to fool around with if your Kidney along your back hurts act immediately get the stint don't wait as I did and end up in the ICU fore 3 days half dead needing nephrostomy tubes with the Kidney specialist telling my wife he may need dialysis. I start a antibiotic before a stint procedure to make sure I don't get an bladder or Kidney infection. Good luck!

They did that over the phone? Sheesh.
