Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: Interested in ureter repair options

Welcome, @jdubs, I moved your 2 discussions into one that shows in both the Cancer support group and the Kidney support group. That way you only have one place to monitor for replies and we can get a group discussion going here. I'm tagging fellow members like @podrunner1 @lrwants2know @amyb5 @jcefly @sepdvm @mshel613 who have experience with upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

When will you be having surgery? Did your surgeon explain further why ureteral repair is not an option?

Hi Colleen-- Thanks for the reply. I am scheduled for 11/27 with Dr. Lyon. He did mention ureter repair, but I really do not clearly understand why my case is open to that option. I really am worried about the loss of my healthy kidney.
