“Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred ninety two.” Happy Columbus Day! Saw my oncologist today. He said that my blood counts and kidney function tests looked good. They have scheduled my visit to the torture chamber for this Wed. I have to be there at 6:30 AM. they will attempt to put a wire through the tube that I currently have in and try to pass it through the blockage in my ureter. If they can get past the blockage they will put a stint in to keep the ureter open. Dr. Kauh says that there’s a 50-50 chance that it will work. I asked what if it doesn’t??? He said then I will be stuck with the bag. He said that he and the radiologist and the kidney specialist will meet, if the procedure doesn’t work, to decide if there is anything else that they can do. Please, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!! I certainly don’t want to keep this thing.I will be one disappointed person. It is such a nuisance. So, hopefully you won’t see a big bulge under my dress for Brian’s wedding. Keep me in your thoughts. I’m trying to think, glass half full. Love ya, Pat the temporary two bagger
