Hi All - Tuesday night I ended up in extreme pain, and after several hours in the ER, one CAT scan, x-ray, and blood work it was discovered that I had a 2cm kidney stone! The next day the doctor put a 'stent' in my kidney to stop the stone from blocking the ureter, and next Tues. I have to go back to hospital for the stone to be 'blasted'. This should convert the stone to sand which will pass without problems - hopefully!! Then a few weeks later the stent will be removed. My question is this: given that kidney problems are a big concern for myeloma patients, is there any special diet that can be used to avoid stones?? I have made a point of drinking 2-3 litres of water everyday to try to avoid kidney problems, so was taken quite by surprise when this happened! Have any of you had this sort of problem - and if so, how was it managed? All help gratefully appreciated. Many thanks, Cath
