    Hi Everyone. I had the CT scan yesterday and the PCP called first thing this morning and wanted me to come in. I really didn't understand a lot of what he was telling me but it didn't sound good. I will be seeing the urologist on Monday and hope he can provide me with more info. Based on the report I have received I have some kind of a bladder tumor and acute renal failure with lesion of renal medullary (papillary) necrosis and a porcelain gallbladder. Will have more info hopefully after Monday.

    Oh, Amanda...sorry you have all that going on. I wish you all the best. At least by finding out, you can make a plan to go forward. Information helps me to get more comfortable. But, I also understand that when things aren't right and you have medical labels and diagnoses, it's scary and can be depressing. Thanks for sharing! And, please keep us posted on what you learn and how you feel. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping all the best for you!

    Definitely have you in my prayers, Amanda.

    Yes, like Roger said, you ask all the questions you can. Write them down beforehand so you won't forget once you get there.

    Dr took a urine test and he didn't see any cancer cells or blood in the urine. He feels that the radiologist reading the CT was overzealous in his findings. Perhaps due to my obesity and him wanting to cover his *kitten*. He did say if I do see any blood in the urine to call him right away. He does want me to come back in 3 months for another urine test. Until then I am keep taking the oxybutynin and myrbetri as we are seeing some signs of improvement. Three times I did have a dry bed within the last 3 weeks and I am getting to the bathroom during the day without accidents. So hopefully within a few more week of the pills more improvement will take place.

    Hi Amanda
    Good News indeed. I agree that there is to much CYA taking place these days.
    I hope You do have continued improvements.
