Pancreatic Cancer & lithotripsy to remove a kidney stone

I still have the stones. I just couldn’t decide I should put my skin & bones body through that kind of abuse with probably just a few months left to live & on top of it both urologists telling me they can’t guarantee that’s what’s causing the pain and because it’s so large only 80% chance of getting it all, just makes the decision so hard.

I decided to go through with getting the stone blasted. Bad things are you’re only allowed by fda so many blasts so he’s about 80% sure he can get the large one broken up with what’s allowed. There’s still 2 more smaller stones in there with it but won’t be able to address those. With such a short life left to live, he doesn’t think they’ll move down or get big enough to cause future problems.
I dread going under anesthesia in my depleted and weak condition! Keep your fingers crossed!
