Dr S, the urologist at HKL whom Cass has been seeing since she was 6 years old has retired. Dr S was the head of the Urology Department @ HKL. I was really disappointed that Dr S who had been following Cass’ case is no longer around and a younger doctor has been assigned to take over. Â Nonetheless, in the event a surgery is required after a diagnosis is made, Dr S willl be called back to perform the surgery as Cass’ case is an extremely complicated one and requires the skillful expertise of an experienced surgeon.
The reason we were at HKL today is for the new urologist (Dr F) to review and explain the MRU report to us. Cass underwent a third MRU last month and unfortunately, the MRU images are also not crystal clear. The previous two MRU scans showed vague images of an ectopic ureter going down south. However, the latest MRU report did not mention anything about the ectopic ureter! Thus, Dr F is baffled as to why the latest MRU report contradicts the previous two reports which suggested an ectopic ureter.
SIGH!! 😪
So here we go again, back to square one. The urology team, the team of radiologists and Dr S will be having an ‘X-Ray Conference’ to deliberate on Cass’ extremely mysterious urinary tract disorder. Our next appointment with Dr F will be in early December 2022.
Dr F commented that they will likely not have a repeat MRU done as it’s not getting us anywhere with unclear images. Moreover, Cass fainted after the latest MRU. He suggested doing another Cystoscopy, which means that Cass will be warded and under GA for the procedure, which will be done in an OT 😰. This will be Cass’ third Cystoscopy. The last Cystoscopy was performed two years ago during the lockdown.
I wonder when Cass and I will see light at the end of the tunnel. All these have caused me sleepless nights and nightmares. Thankfully Cass is not overly antsy and is taking things in stride.
Cass is now more mature mentally and during our consultation with Dr F, she kept asking the doctor questions.
We spent over 4 hours at the hospital today.
Before we finally got a seat after standing for 2 hours, Cass propped her Bio workbook on the wall and did her homework standing up.
