Once again it is always something

Prayers are with you, Cynthia.

My gosh, Cynthia. You must stay up nights thinking of stuff like this!!! I do hope that your docs can connect with the guys that Pat found and find a better way to fix this. What would we do without Pat's research in all areas?

Anger helps....let it out. And you KNOW that we are all with
you in this.

Ok this is what is going on I sent the information you guys sent me to my guys at MGH and asked the question. They are now consulting with their laser guy.

Pat do you know of anyone doing this here? I will do more research once I catch up here at the office tonight I think. My plan is as of now to go forward with their plan. But and that is a big but I am going to try to find a hail Mary. I know Sailorman knew of a guy that does ureters. But right at the moment my give a dam is busted. I am still recouping and my energy well has run very low.

I am throwing this out to discussion. Ok this is the bottom line in this discussion keeping the kidney as healthy as I can for as long as I can.

Ok I get the point that I can't have an Indiana without enough ureter to run to it. Their fear is if I can find a way to keep the ureter open it will just want to close up again. When you only have one kidney it happens fast it seems and is a very dire emergency. Now you could probably keep it open if you ran regular CTs with contrast, with my kidney function that is not a doable. And who wants to live like that if they can get out of it at all. They feel that the best idea is to get rid of the part of the ureter that seem to be prone to scaring it is also the part that got the most radiation and where the connection was done to the Indiana. It is a given that what ureter that remains will have to be monitored for narrowing maybe with urogram? Your thoughts?
