Are you missing a kidney? Did they let you keep it in a jar?

Hello anon! Also, no, I do not have it... They had to burn it :(

when I was little I use to ask the doctor and they explained why they had to burn it....*sighs* but I've been alive longer with one kidney than two!

btw just in case anyone was wondering the cancerous kidney thing is not just something random i decided to throw in i actually did have a wilms tumor once. In real life

[qwertyu858]

A somehow big number of genetic diseases that are associated with wilm's tumor (some kidney tumor in kids) are also associated with mental disabilities

Like I have no idea why but now I really need to find out

[geminilily]

In 1988 they said I had a 90% chance of dying before my 6th birthday. I was 3 years old with Wilm’s Tumor (childhood kidney cancer).

I got sick again in 2006 due to the long-term effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, I was 21.

In 2009, at 24, I had surgery to have most of my stomach removed. I only had a 50% chance of surviving the surgery.

Starting in about 2004 I struggled with an addiction until 2013. I should have died several times from my mixing of drugs and the amount I was using.

I was homeless in 2016.

I was finally declared disabled in 2018 and received housing assistance. I got a part-time job that I held for two years.

I went back to school in 2021 and yesterday, May 13, 2024, I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice/Criminology, Magna Cum Laude.

Like a phoenix, I rise.

My story is proof of two things:

First, the only obstacle that keeps you from achieving your greatest goals and dreams is the one you create. And if you can create it you can break it down.

Second, we all have a definite purpose in life and a reason that we are here. There is no doubt in my mind that I have a mission. I may not know what it is, but that will not keep me from reaching for the stars.

So reach for the stars but don’t forget to help others and to have gratitude for everything, even the hard times, because it is then that we grow.

Margot ajustó su postura en la silla con mucho cuidado, intentando aliviar la tensión que se acumulaba en sus hombros después de varias horas frente a la computadora y de pie en la sala de urgencias durante la madrugada. La jornada en Urgencias había sido particularmente larga, pero había un caso en particular que mantenía su mente ocupada incluso después de que la sala se hubiera vaciado. En la pantalla frente a ella, las imágenes de una resonancia magnética mostraban sombras. No eran claras, pero tampoco insignificantes. Su paciente, un niño de apenas seis años llamado Liam, había llegado acompañado por su madre. Una mujer joven cuya ansiedad era notoria desde el momento en que entró por la puerta.

— Hace semanas que dice que le duele ir al baño. Pensé que era una infección, pero ahora también tiene fiebre y le duele el abdomen. — Había explicado la madre, sus ojos enrojecidos por el cansancio y la preocupación que denotaban en sus expresiones.

Margot había escuchado en silencio mientras sostenía la pequeña mano de Liam. El niño demasiado agotado para participar en la conversación se limitaba a mirar fijamente el techo, sus labios apretados para no quejarse. Margot le dedicó una sonrisa cálida, aunque por dentro ya sentía cómo las piezas del caso comenzaban a moverse en su mente como un rompecabezas. Dolor abdominal, fiebre persistente, molestias al orinar. No era algo que pudiera tomarse a la ligera.

Dejó el teléfono sobre la mesa y volvió a concentrarse en las imágenes. Abrió varios artículos médicos en su pantalla, buscando referencias que pudieran ayudarla a interpretar lo que veía. Los minutos se convirtieron en horas mientras comparaba los resultados de Liam con casos similares. La fatiga comenzaba a pesarle, pero no podía permitirse un error.

Finalmente, una posible explicación comenzó a tomar forma en su mente, un tumor benigno en el riñón derecho, posiblemente un nefroblastoma. Aunque el diagnóstico era delicado, también significaba que existía una posibilidad real de tratamiento exitoso. Margot respiró hondo, sintiendo una mezcla de alivio, pena y urgencia.

Sabía que no podía avanzar sola. Llamó a una colega cirujana pediátrica, la doctora Evelyn Hunt, quien tenía amplia experiencia en casos renales pediátricos complicados. En cuestión de minutos, Evelyn estaba frente a la misma pantalla, analizando las imágenes junto a Margot.

— Definitivamente parece un tumor de Wilms. No parece haber metástasis, pero está comprimiendo los tejidos circundantes. Si crece más, podría comprometer la función renal. — Dijo Evelyn después de un rato.

— ¿Crees que podemos extirparlo sin perder el riñón? Aún es muy joven para tener tantas complicaciones. — Preguntó Margot, consciente de lo importante que sería preservar el órgano.

— Será complicado, pero posible. Si intervenimos pronto, podemos evitar daños mayores. — Evelyn asintió lentamente mientras daba su opinión del caso.

Margot agradeció su honestidad. Aunque no era la respuesta más tranquilizadora, era lo que necesitaba escuchar para planificar los próximos pasos y explicarle a la madre el plan de tratamiento de su hijo.

Antes de regresar a ver a Liam y su madre, Margot se permitió un momento para procesar lo que venía. Cada decisión que tomara en las siguientes horas sería crucial no solo para el bienestar de Liam, sino también para la confianza que su madre había depositado en ella.

Cuando llegó a la habitación donde descansaban, encontró a Liam dormido, su pequeño cuerpo casi perdido entre las sábanas del hospital. Su madre estaba sentada a su lado, acariciándole el cabello con una ternura que solo una madre podía expresar.

—¿Doctora? — Preguntó la mujer en un susurro, alzando la vista hacia Margot. La doctora se acercó, hablando en un tono calmado pero seguro de todo lo que le decía.

— Tenemos un diagnóstico. Liam tiene un tumor en el riñón derecho. Es benigno, pero necesita una cirugía para removerlo antes de que cause más complicaciones. — dijo.

— ¿Qué significa eso? — La madre parpadeó, procesando la información y con su voz cargada de miedo.

— Significa que vamos a necesitar operarlo para remover el tumor y preservar la función del riñón. Es una cirugía delicada, pero creemos que es la mejor opción para que Liam pueda recuperarse. —explicó Margot.

— ¿Qué posibilidades tiene? — La mujer asintió lentamente con sus ojos llenos de lágrimas.

Margot se sentó en el borde de la cama para estar a su nivel, mirándola directamente a los ojos. — Es un niño fuerte, y tiene muchas posibilidades de salir adelante. Pero necesitamos actuar pronto. — Dijo con sinceridad.

La madre apretó la mano de Margot, como si esa simple acción pudiera transmitirle toda la preocupación y desesperación que sentía.

Los días siguientes fueron una ola de preparativos. Margot trabajó junto a Evelyn y su equipo para planificar cada detalle de la cirugía. Liam fue sometido a pruebas adicionales, y Margot se aseguró de explicarle cada procedimiento de una manera que pudiera entender.

— ¿Me va a doler? — Preguntó el niño en un momento, con la voz apenas audible.

— Tal vez un poco, pero yo estaré aquí todo el tiempo para asegurarme de que estés bien — Respondió Margot, apretando suavemente su mano.

La cirugía fue programada para la mañana siguiente. Margot pasó la noche en el hospital, revisando nuevamente los estudios y asegurandose de que todo estuviera listo. Cuando finalmente llegó la hora, acompañó a Liam hasta la sala de operaciones, sosteniendo su mano hasta que el anestesiólogo hizo su trabajo.

La operación duró más de cinco horas, cada minuto lleno de preocupaciones por su futuro. Margot observó desde la sala de observación, su corazón latiendo con fuerza mientras Evelyn y su equipo trabajaban con precisión. Finalmente, la noticia llegó, el tumor había sido removido con éxito y el riñón no había sido extirpado.

Margot dejó escapar un suspiro de alivio mientras salía para informar a la madre de Liam.

— La cirugía fue un éxito. Liam está en recuperación y si todo va bien, podrá irse a casa en unas semanas. — Dijo, sonriendo por primera vez en lo que parecía una eternidad.

La madre rompió a llorar, pero esta vez de alivio. Margot se quedó con ella un momento, permitiéndole procesar la noticia. La abrazó y ambas se apoyaron en ese momento tan doloroso.

The Role of a Pediatric Surgeon: Caring for Your Child’s Health

In simple terms, pediatric surgeons are child surgeons, who operate surgeries on infants, children, and young adults. It may be a daunting experience when a child has a medical problem that needs surgery.

However, in order to guarantee that the kid gets the finest treatment possible, paediatric surgeons are essential. Consult the leading pediatric surgeon for child surgery in Siliguri City.

These highly qualified professionals have received specialized training to handle the surgical requirements of newborns, kids, and teenagers while maintaining their physical and mental health in the best possible way.

What is a Pediatric Surgeon?

A child specialist with expertise in identifying, treating, and managing surgical disorders in children is known as a paediatric surgeon. Paediatric surgeons have extra training focused on the special physiological and psychological requirements of young patients, in contrast to general surgeons.

Neonatal surgery, trauma treatment, congenital abnormalities, and minimally invasive operations are just a few of the many areas in which they specialize (pediatric surgery).

Prenatal: To identify issues while a child is still in the womb and schedule remedial surgery after delivery, paediatric surgeons collaborate with other doctors.

Newborn: Repairing congenital impairments, often known as birth defects, in babies is the goal of neonatal surgery.

Trauma: When a kid has a moderate to severe injury, including a fracture, cut, burn, or internal injury, trauma surgery is performed.

Pediatric Oncology: Children with cancer or benign (noncancerous) growths are treated by pediatric oncologists.

Pediatric surgeons will help with congenital issues that they were born with,removal of a tumour or cancerous tumor, transplants, injuries, etc. These doctors also perform an endoscopy or colonoscopy to examine the digestive system. See one of the best paediatric surgeon doctors in Siliguri City.

Typical Conditions Paediatric Surgeons Treat

Some of the disorders that paediatric surgeons treat may be inherited, develop over time, or result from trauma. These include:

Cleft palate.

Intestinal atresia.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (congenital abnormalities).

Internal injuries, burns, and fractures are examples of traumatic injuries.

Both malignant and non-cancerous tumours, such as Wilms' tumour or neuroblastoma.

Digestive disorders include intestinal blockages, pyloric stenosis, and appendicitis.

Thoracic conditions, such as abnormalities of the chest wall or the lungs.

Paediatric surgeons in Siliguri need to be excellent communicators besides to having strong surgical skills. In order to make sure that everyone is aware of the diagnosis, treatment plan, and recovery process, treating children frequently requires tight coordination with families.

Developments in Paediatric Surgery

Advancements make surgery and surgical outcomes easier and more successful. Robotic surgery and laparoscopy are examples of minimally invasive procedures that enable smaller incisions, less discomfort, and faster recovery periods.

Improvements in imaging and diagnostic technology also enable early detection and intervention for a number of diseases, which improves long-term health outcomes.

If a surgical issue is suspected, your child's paediatrician or primary care physician will usually recommend a paediatric surgeon. The following are some signs that can call for a consultation with a paediatric surgeon:

Lumps or mass

Some types of breathing issues

Hernia

Abdominal pain

Trouble swallowing

Abdominal swelling

Severe trauma or injury

These doctors contribute to children's recovery and well-being by using advanced medical expertise with compassion and understanding. For effective child surgery in Siliguri, meet the leading pediatric surgeon in the area.
