Gout & kidney cancer
The past week my big toe has been swollen, red, extremely painful. It seems to be gout, but I'm pretty a-typical for a gout patient. So what's up with that? I learned that gout is due to too much uric acid in the blood stream. The kidney's job is to filter it out! Gee, you think there's something wrong with my kidney? : )

I wished I knew about this site before I had my surgery
Hi everybody! I just came about this site last night in the wee hours because I couldn't sleep. I still have some much on my mind since my surgery and I get anxiety all the time. I am a 44 year old female who had a radical open nephrectomy of my left kidney on March 4th. It was the day after my 44th birthday, so happy…

Hoping and Praying

She was scheduled for surgery last Tuesday and it was unsuccessful, they said they could not cut her open she was losing too much blood and they may have lost her on the operating table.

New Docotrs

I had seen him at 3 and 6 months. Is it reasonable to see a regular urologist for follow up care or is it better to go to another…

For my Mother
We found out yesterday that my mother, who is 82 has a tumor in her right kidney. My father is 85 with borderline alzheimers. I live with them and take care of them, or we take care of each other, I should say. I am a cancer survivor (thyroid) myself so I am scared for her. They are going to schedule an MRI to see if it's…
