3 1/2 years with bladder tumors
by: JD Smith on Tue, Jul 28 2009

I was diagnosed with prostate and bladder caner at the same time. A routine blood test showed blood in the urine which led to further examination. I had a bladder tumor and it was removed during surgery. Over the last 3 and a half years I’ve had 8 or 9 tumors all low grade superficial cancer tumors. Some are burned out during the my 3 months check up having a cystoclpy (gotta love those)or if it requires too much burning, it’s a surgery at the hospital. I’ve had 2 unscheduled Dr visits in the last month, both low grade cancer tumors.

My doctors says they are like weeds, you pull one and another pops up.

I know of a woman that has been doing this for 20 years. If you take care of it, you can live with it, but you MUST take care of it.
