As many of you know, I saw a Urologist today due to a lesion found on my kidney during a CT scan. The Urologist said that he would recommend surgery to remove the lesion. That particular surgery is done robotically, and he doesn't do robotic surgery anymore. They have a Urologist in their practice who does all of the robotic surgeries. I will see him on the 19th. It's disappointing to have to wait again to see someone else.
He did talk to me a lot about kidney cancer and the surgery though. He showed me the CT scan and where the lesion was. He said that most kidney cancers were found by a CT scan that was done for another reason, which is what I read.
There is something else going on with me though because my blood pressure shot way up after always being under 120/80. I have other things happening, too. He said it's possible that I have kidney disease and kidney cancer. He only treats kidney cancer and not kidney disease. I have a follow-up appointment with my internal medicine doctor next Tuesday and will discuss it with her. She is running tests that hopefully will be back by then.
I'm having a renal ultrasound that she ordered tomorrow afternoon. I am so appreciative of everyone's continued thoughts and prayers.
