The stent outpatient surgery went well today. We left the house at 5:00am to make it to City of Hope by 6:00am. The whole procedure includes anesthesiology with Dr. Hum and then the cystoscopy and stent replacement with Dr. Yuh. The actual stent replacement only takes about 15 minutes. While they were there, the checked out the size of the kidney stones. She has a 2cm kidney stone that is mainly composed of calcium. We are not sure the source of the kidney stones, but think they may be a result of the chemo. They will probably need to do an invasive surgery to get it out. There are different methods to remove stones, but since hers is so large and hard, the surgery will be more involved. For now, the stent will do and we will revisit the topic in 4 months!
