The Biopsy

I went for the biopsy at the end of January 2012 and unfortunately they were not able to get to the tumor through the Ureter but the good news was the bladder and the ureter looked disease free.  I had to take a week off from work after the biopsy.  The biopsy had caused my ureter to go into spasms this is normal but the pain was excruciating and seemed to go from the ureter down into the bladder.  To top off the whole experience I ended up with one good bladder infection.


I had taken lots of Tylenol. used the heating pad, sat in a hot bath and weather permitting even went into the hot tub to help decrease the pain.  I would have rather give birth 20 times over than to ever have another biopsy like this one. lol  I was really worried at this point if the biopsy hurts like this what will having my kidney removed be like.
