<Dope slap to side of head>. That's what happens when you stay up w-a-y too late reading your friends posts.

Here's wishing you all a calm weekend.

he actually had a nephrostomy tube on one side and they are telling us that if there is no blockage, they won't put the other one back in. We are still gonna push for that though. At this point, we would welcome the tube back! However, what would happen with all of the bleeding going on?

Would there be any advantage to doing a laprascopic block to the bladder, and putting in nephrostomy tubes? That would shut down the bladder, and still keep the kidneys emptying. And would be easier to care for, I would think.

Sorry, just thinking off the top of my head.

I posted earlier that the urologist said the only option left was RC. My mother called the oncologist and he suggested alternative therapies....such as the hyperbaric chamber. My father is bleeding so much through his urine that something needs to be done. Has anyone had any experience with the hyperbaric chamber or other alternative therapies?
