    I have not been on these boards since my kidney diagnosis… so here is the report. Nov 15th surgery home in 5 days . Recovery 6 weeks . Back to normal. I thank every one here for their words of wisdom when my June diagnosis and subsequent bladder tumour removal . All went well TA GOOD grade 3 blah ! I was awaiting on BCG when my uro requested one more enhanced CT of my urinary tract and kidneys that’s when my wonky kidney showed up. So out came the kidney contained but again high grade but NFT because its gone and did not go past the the kidney it was in my renal pelvis. I start BCG for the bladder on Thursday . I am pretty sure like 100 % it started in the kidney and traveled to the bladder both tumours under 3cm.

    I am a little nervous about BCG but, I survived 3 MONTHS of dose dense Chemo and 31 rounds of rads with a bolus so sure I will get through this !

    I have Lynch Syndrome and have since found my tribe there many kidney removals bladder cancer. I probably should have been followed closer but lets move on. This is my third and forth primary cancer  in 15 years to catch you up . Uterine 2009 Breast 2010 Bladder June 2023  Kidney August 2023.

    I am very lucky that my latest problems were caught early.

    This summer I lost my beloved 13 year old doodle , my mother is now palliative 95 years young.

    I was more than happy to say goodbye to 2023 !!!
