My husbands Dr.upon seeing him in his office . first thing asked of him was "What chemicals have you worked around"? He told the Dr. He was in Vietnam during Tet. They had heavy spraying at that time. The Dr. has written letter after letter and We are still fighting the V.A. Yes, one cause is smoking , but so are chemicals and the V.A. won't recognize it at all.

Hey Annie... So good to see you again! Glad you are feeling better. You have been through so much these last few months. I am also happy to hear your BCG has gone well. And, exercise is such a good thing for just feeling better overall. I wish I could be so disciplined!

Sending you hugs...
Catherine

Best wishes... Catherine

My son was 23 in 2009 when he was first diagnosed, had two TURBT's and one open resection to remove the large tumor, then nothing till last spring when we heard the dreaded words.... "it's back", so at 25 - last June, he had his bladder removed and a neo bladder created. He's 9 months post op now, with some bumps along the way.
