An ultrasound on December 16th revealed a mass on my right kidney.
A CT scan between Christmas and New Year revealed a possible Cancerous tumour and a kidney stone.
A visit to the specialist at Dunedin Hospital in January gave good news and bad.
The bad news was I had a kidney stone. The good news was I would not have to pass it as they were removing my kidney.
February 12, the deed was done.
March 3rd, I received the news that the cancer was contained in the kidney, grade 2 out of 4, no sign of it having spread, good as new.
Almost.
I never got my kidney stone back but I did get these photos.
Anyone interested in the more graphic surgery photos please message me and I will email some.

Not a bad scar for a few hours work.
