Joe,

It sounds like the Dr. is giving you some reassurance. A lot of times these Doctor's know what they are looking at, nevertheless, it is always a relief to get the Path back and see it in writing.

Hope you get those bowels to wake up soon.

Good to hear from you,

Thanks Rocky. Had my Tur late Monday afternoon. Home today, Wednesday morning. Glad the doctor kept me for two nights as I came home feeling pretty good. No pain on urination, minimal blood. Just feels like some cramping before I go to the restroom. Bowel movement has yet to happen. No word on pathology yet, however Dr still is very confident from cat scan, MRI, physical etc that it is not invasive. He said he would be honest with me if he thought otherwise. Wonder if they have some gut feeling through experience when looking at the tumor if it is invasive or not. Dr has 29 years experience. Thanks for thinking of me.

Rocky,

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I do really love your attitude and totallly agree with you. This road, however, is sometimes bleak and hard to face. And all the advice that I can ever give all sifted down (like your snow) is to keep on moving.

I was 54 when diagnosed with T1 G3 disease. So far, the scopes have been clean. The frequent urination is the pits, and I've developed a serious arthritic condition and resistant yeast infections that were triggered by BCG treatments.

Once I started reading your story, it was hard to stop. Once again, thanks for sharing.

Your new Bladder Cancer Buddy,
Rosemary

Rockyiss what a story so far. I will have my first TUR on Monday. So far cat scan and MRI show no spread. I am 51 with never having any problems. My blood showed up 10 months ago and GP thought no big deal has urine test showed no blood.

I am very nervous and will let you know how it goes for me.
