Living with Bladder Cancer

i went to goa on holiday in april and the first day of my holiday i started with blood in my urine but i put it down to the long flight and thought it was just a bladder infection. then by thursday it was getting worse. i went for 4 different scans and blood tests and had all the results back in 6 hours. they gave me tablets to see if would stop the bleeding but they did not work.

in the early hours of sunday morning i could not pass water. they rushed me to hospital and operated on me and found a tumour on the wall of bladder.they said they think they caught it in time.i had to bring my cancer cells,my tumour in a paraffin block and a cd of the operation back with me on the plane. i went to see a urologist for a second opinion and he is very pleased to the treatment i recieved in india.

i have go and have a cystoscopy on august 21st.they say i went to goa for a reason but i never thought it for this the surgeons in india says it would have happened in time so this a blessing in disguise. it would have spread further without knowing. the treatment i got was second to none i was treated like royalty. so i trying to be optomistic.
