After my last post the information began sinking in and I began questioning what was really going on. Then I did what nobody should do. I used Google to see what lumpy kidney's could really mean. That was a horrible idea. Google is evil, yet I always seem to use it. I shouldn't do that. Every web page that came up had something to do with Kidney Cancer and/or Kidney Disease. Talk about enough to send this momma into a straight on panic attack.
After a day and a half of getting the nerves up to call Dr. Foster back to talk about what I found online, my worst fears were, in a way, confirmed. Really there are three things we will be looking at after the next ultrasound. The first and best result would be Khloe's kidney's look beautiful and smooth (normal). The next could be that they look basically the same but it is determined that is just her and they are fine. Not my ideal, but better than the alternative. The last would be that it is determined that she needs to have the MRI done to either confirm she does or does not have cancer. Wow. That sickens me to think about.
The radiologist that looked over Khloe's imaging thinks that the probability of her actually having cancer is minimal. Hence, the reason we are not going straight in to do the MRI now. Rather, we are hoping she has some sort of infection that will heal on it's own over the next few week's and won't be seen on the next ultrasound.
So, I guess we wait and see. And if you know me, I am not patient in the least bit. So this should be an interesting few weeks.
