in Kidney Cancer #1

Well my 1st scans are done and I am NED.  My urologist said that my creatatine and gfr levels are perfect for having only one kidney.  Next set of scans will be in July.  This time he wants a chest x-ray and ct scan with contrast.

 

Thank you everyone for you support and encouragement.

    Sounds good to me.

    tysbtyn,

    Keep up the NED's. Keep in mind that a perfect cretine with 1 kidney is abnormally high and a perfect gfr with one kidney is abnormally low. Given your young age you may also want to consult with a Nephrologist especially if you have any high blood pressure or diabetic issues.

    Thankfully I do not have

    Thankfully I do not have either of those issues but my regular doctor does keep a close watch to make sure that nothing crops up.  So far so good.
