Yesterday I had a Lasix Renal Scan at CMC Pineville. My urologist was concerned about the right kidney as I have mentioned before. I was not convinced there was a persistant problem, and figured that since the clotting the bladder was solved, the kidney would be fine.
Well, I was allowed to see the scan while it was in progress, and it was pretty clear to me that perhaps my urologist knows his business. I'm not sure which radio-pharmaceutical agent that they used for me - but as the right kidney showed bright white and the left was barely visible, it was clear that the right kidney wasn't draining quite as fast as the left.
I haven't heard from my urologist yet, but I expect a call for a consultation to be coming up soon.
Oh, and I just got a call about the MRI done Friday.
No new tumor growths and the existing tumors on the spine are shrinking. Nothing to really explain the pain last Tuesday, except that it may be bulged disks. So all in all it's a good report - just which it wasn't $2900 out of my pocket.
