25. I have to fight it: the alternative is not acceptable. So far in five years: five bladder surgeries

(the last one this last Monday), one colon surgery (I now have a semi-colon), a course of BCG immunotherapy and in the next month or so I will probably be having the bladder removed and if they take the bladder - the prostate has to go, too.

I've been contacted by several DUers on what happens and how it changes one's life and a good life is highly likely.

I went to my doctor as soon as a symptom presented itself. I met a guy about my age who waited because there is no pain involved and I do not want to be where he is now, his cancer broke through attacked his prostate and bowel before he went in.

Life is good and I intend to live it for many years to come.

Talk to your physician about your spell and take the worry, not knowing, and uncertainty out of your life.

We both need to hang around to see Trump dragged out of the WH and a good Democrat use a Democratic Congress sweep up the mess he's making.

First, let me say how sorry I am that you had this happen to you. CaliforniaPeggy Apr 2019 #1
