The Urologist rang yesterday after the X-Ray meeting.At the moment they are not going to do anything. Im to see him in 4 months more scans etc etc and see if the tumour has changed. He said hes 50-50. Hence, I am still playing the waiting game once again.

I see my Rheumatologist tomorrow afternoon. Luckily the Rheumatoid Arthritis has been very quiet the last month or so. Hopefully, he can start some Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment now that Kaylee the Kidney is on hold.

Thank you so much for the hugs, prayers and messages - it means a lot to me.

That must be frustrating waiting for the results.
I hope that everything is in your favor and the tumor has changed for the better.
I wish you a good visit with your rheumy and that you may begin an effective treatment plan soon.

Thanks so much, Naturegirl. I had a really good visit wih my Rheumy today. He gave me a copy of the kidney MRI report and is contacting the Urologist to ask if MTX would have an adverse effect on the tumour. He has cut the prednisone back slightly to see how that goes, as he isn't happy to keep anyone on Prednisone. I am so lucky - he is one of the most caring and thorough specialists. My bone scan was fine and I'll have a Bone Density test before I see him again.

Hugs
