My husband who is 82 might have to have his kidney out because he might have a small tumour in his uretra. Could you tell me if you had your uretra removed when you had your kidney out.
Hi Sorry to hear about your husband, I'm sure he will be O.K, I had part of my urethra removed and I agreed for it to be used for research, I think it went to York somewhere.
I am now 7 years clear and counting living life to the full.
Many thanks for answering my email. All sounds good for you and i am so pleased your getting on with your life. When my Ronnie was told they had taken a biopsy from a minute lump in his urethra and said it was in conclusive but found cancer cells in the urine round it the consultant said they would do a dye ct scan and get a better look at it. But he did say if they found that the small lump was cancer then he would have to have the whole urethra out and the kidney because if there is no urethra there is no point in leaving the kidney. Which upset us as there is nothing wrong with the kidney it's self. So he goes for the ct scan next month. He starts his BCG on the 28/5 6 doeses every Saturday. They found none invasive tumer but grade 3 which is a fast growing one but they did a turb and took all they could see away. So it's up to the BCG to keep it clear and stop it from coming back. Fingers crossed it will work. A lot to take in and it has affected me more than my husband.
All this cancer is the outcome of radio therapy he had 19 years ago when he had treatment for prostate cancer which was gotten rid of. ?
He is 82 this year but a fit 81 so i just hope he can get through the operation if he has to have it. I read on here it is a bit bad the first 3 months i just hope he can take it at his age.
