Had my 6 month check up yesterday. Good news is the doc doesn't see any reoccurance of cancer.
I came prepared with my 'show & tell', a small packet containing seeds I had collected when emptying my bladder....seeing is believing...he now thinks I do have a fistula...a small hole between the bladder and the colon where stuff that should be going to the colon is instead going into the bladder. So he wants me to get another CT scan next week, where they would put contrast into the bladder, colon and I think, the rectum. I think I am going to postpone that appointment because I have some other medical concern that I presently consider a higher priority. Besides which, he doesn't think the scan will reveal where the hole is but it would give them a picture for future comparisons. I'm thinking I don't want yet another CT scan done again so soon as I get concerned about how the kidneys are affected by all those scans.
I need to ak him what my latest creatinine level was.
And the fistula leads us to the idea that because there is a hole, it might explain why I continue to produce stones. The scan revealed I have 4 of which three are now a cm in size so he wants them removed. He told me the UW Medical Center recently got a new doc from UCLA who specializes in stones so guess he would be the man for the job.
Oh well, it's not anything that I, God and the good doctor can't handle. Just another bump in the road....or should I say just another stone.
