They went into my bladder with a scope after I was put to sleep. I have to have this done every four months or so for a long time.
They did find and removed a cancer from my bladder. It was cut out with a biopsy tool of some kind. I can surely tell where it was done.
Good news is they found nothing in my remaining kidney so that is good. Probability is cancers will be confined to my bladder alone and that will safeguard my kidey. It does hurt quite a bit to have a bladder tumor cut out, or at least the after effects, but I am grateful for what they can do. It means life to me.

I will put in a good word upstairs, that maybe in 4 months you will have a clean check up. Hope the pain goes away soon.
Go Spartans....two in a row.....next up Northwestern for Homecoming.

We, too, shall be praying for quick healing from the pain. None of us on the forum like the thought of one of us suffering and most of all we want you to be well and free from cancer and pain.

I'm glad things went well and I hope that the recovery time passes quickly and smoothly. We're all buddies here and it affects us all when one of us is going through something.

Does everyone understand now how we came to be here together? After reading the responses in this thread there can be little doubt that we have been led to one another by the hand of God. This is about more than racing, although that was the common thread He used to sew this group together. If anyone doubts the power of God's love for mankind, just drop in here for a while and see what wonders He has wrought. God bless you and keep you, Tom.

Well, uh, uh, she is a very dedicated girlie. I just explain that instead of walking five miles every day out in the cruel world she can just get stuff for me.
