This has taken us some time to get answers on. What we thought was gallstone issues turned out to be...ta-da...a kidney growth. At just over 9cm (same size as my kidney) it's a good sized grapefruit. Apparently I have a thing for citrus fruit 😁. While it's connected to both my kidney and bowel, it originates from my kidney. It's got a 60% chance of being malignant, so on Sept 9th I'm having it removed along with a small portion of my left kidney. My urologist from ARH along with a urologist from RCH will work on making my kidney functional. If they can't make my kidney work then they'll take it out. I am hoping that the pain associated with this disappears fairly quickly. Dwayne is sweet and kind and worried and wants to just fix me. If you know him, or either of our kids, please lift them up, love them, reach out. This is stretching us.
Love you all,
Di

ReplyDeleteOh dear, I missed this but came and checked after seeing Sarah's post on FB today, thinking of you all and hoping to hear positive news on the other side. Good that they've discovered the problem, and so far you've been a very unmalignant person so fingers crossed this continues XXX
