Great news re meds, chemo, radiation and limited discomfort. Sometimes I
think all medical should have to go through the procedures before
treating. Might be less glib and more understanding. Are you finding
yourself able to get back to work, etc., after about three days or does
it really take longer. :)



I had the issue with radiation; several nurses said the radiation
couldn't product the side effect I described. But, I did get them and
shortly after radiation was completed, side effect disappeared except
for fatigue.



Get up and running soon. I'll be thinking of you, especially since you will be getting scoped every 90 days. Ouch!

No meds, no chemo, no radiation. For now the scrapping on the inside 
of my bladder lining should have done the trick and removed the cancer. I 
get a check at the urologist every 90 days with a scope to make sure all is 
well for a year. Then once each six months and then once a year for life. 
The scope is not painful, but it is *very* uncomfortable during and 
especially afterwards for next 3 days or so. Especially first day after. 
Will not go into details... According to my urologist I am not restricted in 
any way... back to work, back to active sex life, etc...obviously he has not 
had one of these procedures he is giving:-)) 
Do not want to sound whiny....grateful it is not worse.

Happy for you. Sounds better, easier to cure and/or control. Does the 90 
day scoping reduce your activities? Do you have to take meds or is this 
more equivalent to cervix scrappings? Sorry for asking so many questions 
but after dealing with mine, I ask more. Do take care.

Morning Everyone 
Thanks for asking, Donna. 
Surgery/procedure/biopsy was on Wednesday afternoon. Yesterday was back to 
the doctor's office for pathology report. Looks like superficial bladder 
cancer. The scrapping I received on Wednesday should take care of it... will 

need to be checked with a scope every 90 days. 
Still sore but doing OK. 
Gene
