Here is what I learned:
1: My kidneys are disgusting.
When you Google this sort of thing and look at the pictures, you see some really disgusting stuff. Most of what I saw were some black cyst-covered kidneys. They looked wrecked! Well, I found out today that mine look just like those (on a smaller scale).

I'd post one to save you time, but you may be eating. Here's a puppy instead! |
Septations meaning walls within the cyst - that usually indicates a higher chance of them being cancerous.
Hydronephrosis meaning water in the kidney.
I saw the scan myself (with the doctor). There were cysts everywhere. It was seriously gross.
There is no cure. There is no way to slow the growth and progression of the cysts. One day, they will replace my kidney tissue and I will need new ones or dialysis.
That's all for this update! Thanks for reading! I will do my best to keep you all posted.
