going in for surgery tomorrow (Monday).   Don't know what to expect. i will have an urologist and my gyne/onc there.   It will be done robotically.    I am first having my left ureter reimplantEd into my bladder to eliminate the stent.   The urologist said I am too young to  have the stent changed 4 times a year for the rest of my life.   (I am 55 now).   Second part of surgery will be done by my gyne/onc.   They will biopsy my soft tissue mass which had been a dilemma for me the past year and a half.   If it is ok they will just leave it. If not it will be removed.   Hopefully it can all be fine laparoscopically and no need for an abdominal cut.   I will let you know how it goes 

hugs to all!!

Kathy

    I'm sending you all the good vibrations and positive thoughts I can drum up!!  Hopefully they'll be able to eliminate the need for the stent and the mass will be benign.  Please let us know how the surgery goes!!

    Take care,

    My thoughts are with you

    I hope everything goes smoothly and that your mass is not cancerous! Wouldn't it be wonderful to eliminate the stents and be cancer free! Sandy

    Kathy, I am thinking about you today

     

    and hoping your surgery goes well.  Let us know, when you are able, how you are doing.  I agree that having stent surgery so frequently is WAY too much. I am hoping that the mass proves to be nothing- just "body junk".

    Take care, my friend,

    Hugs,

    Cathy

    Thanks all!

    well they were unable to do robotically due to the large mesh I have in my abdomin     They made an incision on my left stomach area.  The reimplantment of ureter went well however it was a long process. 5 hours.   I don't know at this time if they biopsies the mass because it may have been difficult to reach.  I'm on pain mess so a little loopy.  Just wanted to send everyone a quick note that my surgery was done

    love and hugs

    Sending you my best wishes

    I'm wishing really hard for you to have the best outcome and an easy quick recovery from your surgery.  If wishes could heal, it looks like there's a lot of ladies that wish just that for you.  Peaceful sleep tonight.  Nancy

    Thanks so much for letting us know that you are okay. Too bad about having to cut your stomach but I hope it did give them access to the tissue they needed to biopsy.

    I hope you have a speedy recovery and get great news when all is said and done.  And, just think.... no more stent replacements! Yea!

    Love and Hugs,
