That's some bad hat Harry
You know how they say there's good news and there's bad news? Well I just got some news that's not so much good nor is it so much bad. So the kidney they took out had a massive tumor on it, in fact it was almost bigger than the kidney itself. It was also a very aggressive stage 3 cancer that I was lucky enough to not have spread else where in my body. So I don't require any follow up treatment such as chemo and the like. Instead my doctors are going to keep a close eye on me to make sure that it does not come back or develop in the other kidney. However, this now means I cannot receive a kidney transplant for at least two years now, I need to be free and clear of cancer before they will proceed. It really, I hate to describe it this way, sucks. Then again, it would be worse to get a new kidney and then have the cancer return and have to do treatment for it which would inevitably kill the new kidney. So I have to look at it in that perspective. It could be worse. Don't take my statement too lightly though because believe me, I was plenty upset about it. I wonder if I should switch the type of dialysis I'm doing, peritoneal dialysis is supposed to be a lot easier on the body but then again I'm finally getting used to hemodialysis, I'm not sure if that's a good thing though. Ugh, two more years of this, two more years of feeling weak and like utter crap the majority of the time, joy.
