I have had numerous amount of CT scans. My last one was with contrast. The report says “ The right ureter is incompletely opacified on the excretory phase, limiting the exam”. It also says “ Moderate wall thickening of the right renal pelvis with trace surrounding inflammation, similar noncontrast appearance compared to the 10/19/2021 exam, most likely reflecting chronic inflammatory etiology. However, malignancy cannot be entirely excluded
with the CT appearance.”. I have my appointment with Mayo tomorrow and I am nervous what this means. Anyone had these type of reports?

@tallchick60 I didn’t understand your situation from your post but was glad to hear that you had a Mayo appointment scheduled. Have you had your appointment at Mayo? If so, I hope you learned something helpful. How are you doing now?

I had my appointment. I have surgery on 12/12 and biopsy after that. I have something pushing on my ureter. They are calling it inflammation but they don’t know what. So she is going to go through my bladder to see if it’s scar tissue doing it. If it is she is laser it it out. If not they will do a biopsy through my back to see if it’s cancer or a tumor. It’s something causing my renal pelvis and my ureter to narrow but all the CT scans are just showing a shadow. She doesn’t think it’s cancer cause it hasn’t changed in 2 years. But it’s something. Took 10 years of telling the doctors in Alaska something isn’t right. And they told me it’s in my head….
