Mom's urologist was encouraging last week when we met with her.
First, mom does not have a tumor or anything on her kidney. The issue is that the ureter (tube from kidney to bladder) looks like it gets 'pinched closed' at the point where the arteries and veins for the legs cross over the ureter. So, they can't really see what's going on.
Mom had a sonogram done today to check that area out again. If the ureter still looks like it's pinched closed, the urologist will do a radioactive dye test next to test mom's kidney function. If the rt. kidney is functioning w/in normal bounds, we won't do anything else. But if the rt. kidney's function IS compromised, the urologist will do a procedure to look up in the ureter to see what's causing the blockage/pinch.
AS for the nodules in Mom's lungs...still no plan for further tests yet.
