Dr. Badani just called. Very nice of him! Most doctors would’ve waited until the next day. Anyway, he carefully reviewed my CT-Slides and concluded that a partial nephrectomy can’t be done due to the location of the tumor. Therefore, the kidney will be removed entirely and laparoscopically (Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy).

So, I’m glad that I have clarity on this now. My wife Ann was a little sad over the news; she had high hopes that a part of the kidney could’ve been spared. But Dr. Badani made it very clear that there’s not way.

Alright then, the count down is on – three more weeks.
