mets to lymphnodes around ureters/kidneys, anyone??
Hi All~
Anyone ever heard of BC mets to the lymphnodes surrounding the ureters causing "retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy??
... resulting in stricture to the ureters, blocking the kidneys from functioning & leading to acute renal failure...
...landing me in the ER 2x in 4 days, emergency surgery to stent the ureters, 4 days in ICU, a grand mal seizure & 2 additional days in hospital?
UGH!
Or can someone reassure me that this bizarre event is completely random & unrelated to this God awful disease?
I'd just finished 7wks of radiation for a 2nd supraclav recurrences 7 days earlier.
And PET scans 8 weeks prior showed only the supraclav disease...
I know the answers lie in the multitudes of scans I'll have in the near future, once they determine my kidneys can tolerate the contrast.
I guess I'm just looking for a little reassurance~
Keeping the Faith~
