FYI: my left kidney was removed in 2005 due to bladder cancer, then stage 2 was headed into left kidney. Thus I only have my right kidney.
In March & April I underwent biopsies that shows carcinoma in situ in the mid area of my ureter.
I am having another biopsies June 4, 2015, to map the exact location in the ureter and they will also re-check the right kidney.
I cannot have my right kidney removed. it's the only one I have.
My at doctors at UMHealth are referring my history to a tumor board currently.
He is thinking of removing the cancer area of ureter and extended it to neobladder if possible.
Other options, removing my only kidney and ureter, not a good idea for me.
Has anyone experienced this issue, and what possible solutions that would allow me to keep my kidney and ureter without an external bag.
Thank you for your input all, God bless.
