unfortunately...some of my tests were inconclusive...

And because we have a great cancer center with all the bells and whistles and Inhouse testing. My case is being transferred there. Without telling me I have the big C.. just tgst I definitely have something going on.....kidney doctor will be called in as well.

So kinda blasted me out of the sky on this pretty spring day....wasn't expecting this news
Oh Laura, I'm so sorry you are still going through all of this - my goodness the doctor holding hand bit would definitely freak me out too. And now your car as well, geeeezzzzz you just don't seem to be able to catch a break!! Sending all possible prayers that everything goes well for you with the new kidney doctor, my dear friend ❤️🙏

Thinking of you this morning ❤️ It's very bright and sunny here today, and cold! I brought my little oil filed heater back out to warm up the living room, and am sipping my coffee from under a blanket on the couch, daydreaming about doing this tomorrow next to Cotton 😍 ☕🦜

Well...no answers..but possibly they feel pretty confident to rule out the big C. So that's good. Have see another specialist..
,
Today's doctor thinks might be autoimmune kidney disorder....no idea what that will mean or how serious that would be..have to wait till I see more doctors.

Oh Laura, SO glad to hear they are pretty confident about it NOT being the word that I will not even mention! Not that autoimmune kidney disorder sounds like a walk in the park either though. Sending more hugs and prayers your way, and hope those doctors can get to the bottom of this for you very soon, my friend! 🙏🙏🙏

Me too. They won't say 100% ofcourse, but extremely unlikely and time to focus elsewhere . I want to be excited about that....but i dont know what kidney disease will mean fir me .....except it will likely mean both kidneys

I'm really sorry. Sending love, prayers, and good vibes your way, hoping you can be in less pain and stress soon ❤️

And please don't feel guilty if you need a break from the forums.

Glad to hear it’s not the big C. My mother was a dialysis nurse before she retired, so she saw a lot of folks with a variety of kidney issues. It can really impact your daily life when those things are out of whack, she’s always on me about drinking water etc. I hope they have answers for you soon and a care plan to move forward!
