Outcome of My Appointment

Posted , 8 users are following.

Good afternoon all.  I just got back for my doctors appointment.  I said I would let you all  know what is going on.  Well good new as of now I have no cancer.  PSA went down to 1.3.  Which he said is good and all my other levels are great.  But he wants to see why I have had 3 bacterial infections in 6 months So I had to schedule 2 test at the hospital.   I will be having a ultrasound of my kidneys and a CT Urogram .  It takes very thin slices just about the kidneys ended just below the pubic bone.  He thinks there may be either kidney stones or bladder stones. He told me that when I was in the hospital in November when they did a CT Scan there the doctor that looked at it say he saw a few bladder stones.  But when he did the Ridge Cystoscopy he did not see them.  He said he may have miss them.  I will be having both done next Wednesday.  And I go back to him on August 22, 2018 and he will be doing a Flexible Cystoscopy that morning for a final check.  I told him what ever he want to do just as long as we find out what the problem is.  I hate being on antibiotics Have 3 more days of the Bactrim and then I'm done.  He also told me have have a over active bladder.  He gave be some samples of Myrbetriq 50 mg.  He gave me a 2 week supply.  And then will see if I have to continue them when I see him.  I want to thank you all for being my venting board.  Lets hope the future brings good things for us all.  Good health to all and God Bless  Ken

    Happy to hear your great news. Good luck with the stones. I have a 4mm in my kidney. The doctor said it is an option to take it out, because he said it is still small enough to pass. If it doesn't near the end of 2018 then I will have a lithotripsy.

      I had that 15 years ago.  I had stones in both of my kidneys.  They were the size of jawbreakers.  I still have the pictures and he gave me one of the instrument that he use to blast them.  I had to go 3 time because they could not be done together.  The first week he put in catheters in the ureter so they would not get stuck.  The second week he did the right side which was a breeze.  My brother took me we went shopping after and to lunch.  The next week he did the left side.  That side I have a defective kidney.  It is sitting on my bladder.  I was in so much pain after that the pain ran down my whole left leg He said that he could not flush it all out that I would have to pass it myself.  I went home and took a couple of pain pills and laid down about 3 hours later I got up to go to the bathroom and it hurt like He--.  I was bleeding and then I felt a few pop's and I felt so much better.  I never want to go through that again.  I have been good for 15 years.  But we will see next week when I have the test done.  If I do I do.  Take care and thank you for the concern.  Have a good week  Ken
