Delay in diagnosis

I'm on the other side. Also ignored the signs - seemed more like spotting than bleeding and had no idea. Mine was also grade 1 and the least aggressive. Found thickening on a CT scan for my kidneys (golf-ball sized one due to come out in Sept now) - otherwise, who know how long I would have gone without finding out? Probably one of the few people happy to have a giant kidney stone.

At 30 days out from the radical hysterectomy, I now know I had a good result - it was caught so very early. I am now trying not to beat myself up about the other 2 issues (one of them long-term and irreversible) that I have to tackle. Those, I also ignored symptoms of. (caretaker/ husband died/ elderly mom with dementia still going strong). Grateful for the medical care I do have, and that I have a path forward. I am trying to learn to enjoy each day now, and trying to focus on the things I do have control of. (Lots of "trying to" in there!).

I hope this helps?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m hoping for a good outcome since it’s grade 1 but of course I will deal with other treatments if needed. I had a 15 mm stone a year ago and had 3 lithotripsy treatments. Good luck with your stone.
