Okay nothing is always what we at first believe it will be. Apparently, the kidney was hiding a cancerous tumor after all. I have surgery scheduled to remove the right kidney and the ureter tube that empties into the bladder. The surgery will be Feb.19th in Scottsdale. Once the kidney is out the doc says that the cancer is self-contained and I will not need chemo or radiation therapy. Once it is gone it is gone and that is really good news!
My travel companion has been very helpful and supportive. She likes the surgeon and has confidence in the decision. Now I just can't wait to have it over and be able to play with the kids when we get to Oregon!
In the meantime I drink lots of water and try and stay healthy.
