Need help

Hi,

I recently had a tumor removed from the ureter and had a stent. I was really fretting about it coming out, but it was a piece of cake. I didn`t even realize it was out until doc told me I was done. Tell your husband not to worry!

Regards, Griz

Hudsongrl, yes I would have some pain in the lower back on the side where the stent was. Sometimes it would seem that once I finished going to the bathroom, the pain would be better. The pain though was nothing that was intolerable just you knew it was there at times.

Welcome to the site Hudsongrl
As you can see from the responses here, there is a wealth of experience here and a genuine willingness to help. Consider their information to be accurate, but we are not medical Dr.s. But that doesn't deminish the support and technical information they give.

We have all "been there" and we came here just like you; scared to death, adn looking for answers. Welcome.

Oh.... and most important..... Anything goes here. Any question. Any concern. Any Fears........ All are Ok here. I came here looking for answers "After" I went through the full surgery treatment. I was looking for some form of relief. Found it here.

Good Luck and don't panic. There will be a fight to fight, but, in the end, the two of you will get through this just fine. Maybe even better than before.

Just work through it as a team.

Sincerely
George

Thank you Joey, encouraging about the stent removal. Did you have any pain with the stents in? My husband complained the first couple days of low back pain on the side the stent was in. But, the last few days he has felt much better.

Hello,, yes I plan to get and keep copies of everything, including path report. I started a folder with all our "papers". This is so important if you ever switch doctors, move etc.

Thanks for the warm welcome to the group. I can see there is lots of good info here!

Hudsongr, I also had a stent placed in the ureter on two occassions. The pain associated with the removal was minimal and over very quickly.
