Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

You have stated that the stone is very big and if ureteric treatment is not possible then the other option would be to use shock wave lithotripsy. This prcedure is cheaper than the ureteric lithotrippsy and safe as well.
Meanwhile she should take plenty of water and refrain from tomato and spinach.

She should approach her GP who can guide her to appropriate doctor who can do some XXXXXXX

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
