Prolonged dilated kidney from Ov/Ca

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I'm hoping you can help. I was diagnosed September 30th with stage 3c Ovarian cancer at 26yrs old. I had my first recurrence in November 2006 and am currently still, undergoing chemo. I have had 5 different surgeries to remove, change and place stents in both my left and right ureters. Mt left kidney, however, has remained dilated even with the stent in place. The stent was changed this past January as they were suspecting it was obstructed but my latest CT report shows that it's more dilated than it's ever been. Why would this be happening? I can't imagine that the stents just aren't working...not two in a row. Is there something wrong with my kidney? My creatinine levels have steadily increased over the last 18 months, but are still under 90.
Thanks in advance,
Becky
