Don, why did you switch to the invasive bladder cancer heading? You are still superficial from what I have read. Your ureter is not draining sounds like there was some resection of the ureter that for now made it temperamental. I am repeating this from a radiologist who just did a renal ultrasound on me to check for hydrolysis since there was some resection of my left ureter this last TURB. He said the ureters and colon are very temperamental and will sometimes do some strange things when "messed with." He said that is one reason doctors want to make sure you have a bowel movement and can urinate before you leave the hospital. Has your doctor suggested an MRI with contrast to look at the suspect area or even a less invasive ultrasound rather than additional surgery? I know this is a very worrisome and threatening time for you but if something can be seen or discounted from less invasive type tests, I personally would opt for that. By the way, my kidney is fine, it was so interesting seeing the whole urinary tract on the ultrasound and having the radiologist explain everything to me. Rosie
