Quick update: the doc went back in up my wang (this time, they gave me general anesthetic) and took out a tumor about the size of a ping pong ball. He says everything went very well, have a followup next week. He took some other samples and we'll see what the pathologist says. He also put in a stint in the tube coming down from the right kidney; says it was blocked. It burns a good bit but I can now pee like a racehorse! I.P. Freely!!!

And many thanks for the nice thoughts and prayers. It really makes a difference.
