@douglasebaker, do you have more questions? How are you feeling?

Hi @jim8086, welcome. Cancer in the left ureter must be rare. I'm glad that it was caught. Was GFR the only indicator of an issue? Did you have any other symptoms? Pain?

Voiding urgency, urologists first treated as "overactive bladder", went to second urologist who ordered cat scan which showed ureter was not functioning, then scope procedure verified cancer. Luckily it is a low grade cancer type with good prognosis, I had no symptoms except for rapidly declining gfr on blood work. Thank God I changed dr and went to Mayo Clinic, cant say enough good things about them!
