Need testing done: Your DR is sorting through a multitude of possibilities. The scan will give information about the kidneys, the ureters(tube connecting the kidney to the bladder). After this test results are available, you will have the possibilities narrowed down considerable and will prob have the correct dx. It certainly appears your DR is giving great care. Follow his instructions and get the testing done
