I’m going in to get an ultrasound of my natural kidneys today. I’ve had my transplant kidney for 21 years now. The Doc says that sometimes, after having a transplant that long, the natural kidneys can develop cancer. My red blood cell count has been slightly on the high side for a while so he wants see if there’s anything to be concerned about. I’ll give y’all an update when I have one.

The radiologist looks at the images and sends the report to my nephrologist in a few days. The Doc will call me soon after to let me know the results. I'll update here when he does. I appreciate the prayers brothers!

The Doc just called me with the results.
My prostate is big which I already knew.
My transplant kidney looks good.
My natural kidneys are huge, nothing but cysts and look like monsters.
NO SIGNS OF ANY CANCER!!!!
