linda ; this caused bloodpoisoning from the leaking infected urine in my body and swelling extremely painfull it has carried on for over 2yrs since i had a c.t.scan at midcentral hospital in sept. of 2010 does other people with this condition know how long before it is faital; i well die from the septic urine that is causing very obverious swelling. the doc can see it but is not allowed to report it. when last examined by a  urologist over a year ago. he commented on it but never reported it; like do surgeons have any interest in patients dying at all; or do they not want to know on purpose.
