In a recent scan of my liver my doctors noticed some masses on my native kidneys, a further look showed that while the one on the left side is just a cyst the one on the right has a cancerous mass. That's the bad news, the good news is that my kidney rejection/failure and dialysis has stopped it from spreading and it's typically the type that spreads and causes a lot of problems. The game plan right now is to remove both my native kidneys, both because they want to prevent any future problems that the left one could cause. I just feel a little estranged by this, the kidney rejection/failure almost killed me yet at the same time it kind of saved my life...

That was good luck, FindingNeverland!

It sounds as if you have a few guardian-angels working for you full-time!
I keep my fingers crossed for a good outcome of the operation!

Best wishes from Kristina.

They'll be scheduling the surgery as soon as I have a scan done of the kidneys so they can map out how to go in and take them out and what have you.
