Next day i went to the bathroom and the pee was totally brown-red. I decided to go to the hospital but I remembered to have eaten some plum jam that I had from my mother, maybe it was the cause of the strange color... So we went to a mall, where I peed again :redface: (in the toilet...) and this time it was.. The same if not even darker. We went to the hospital, E. R., and (after a few hours...) a doctor made an ecography, while a huge pain rised from my back, on the right side. He sent me for a C. A. Tomography, and then I remained for the night. Next day the doctor received me in his studio to tell me what was going on. Well, I was expecting a rock, a cystis, but no, it was a malignant cancer :tv: ... ... Well, I won't tell you the mix of tragic emotions that fulfills a body in these crucial moments of one's life, anyway I was scheduled for surgery on monday for the removal of the kidney. ... And here it is Tormie with only one kidney :uuh: ... Yes I am in the hospital right now with tubes going inside and outside of the body, freshly cut and sewed on. Some few notes and consideration: I had not significant symptoms before the episode, maybe I confused them for a simple back pain e.g. I didn't see it coming. In the bad luck I was lucky : I went randomly to this hospital that have an equipe of specialized doctors, and I was visited by the second in command. I had the impression that he knew what was going on just after the echography. The cancer was at stage 2, 6cms large and entirely inside the kidney. I had surgery in laparoscopy, I have little cut and a bigger one made in order to take out the kidney. Good news: doc says that this surgery eradicated the problem, I won't need further cures. My dear friends :friends:, just take care of youselves and spend some money on medical exams. Tormie was about to die in the next years and another one for the bodycount. Take care :heartbeat:
