I was a rock today.......you would have been proud of me. I was composed, asked alot of questions, made phone calls to MIL and said that the news was something we can live with, called the restaurant to confirm our reservations for tomorrow and I have a headache (I've had alot of those lately!) ::)

We have to make the best of this situation.

Dana Farber here we come. I don't expect much of a different treatment plan opinion after doing so much pre-pathology investigating but Mr C deserves to be assured this is the right decision and not look back with any regrets.

Our next appoinment with Mrs Uro is December 4th. So it looks like Friday I better get on the horn and make an appointment in Beantown.

Thanks so much. Your advice and voice of reason really means alot to me.

Love
Bubbles

Yeah Ha -

There you have it Bubbles - proof possitive that you can live to 120 with Cancer. ;D

Jean sure is putting youngsters like me in their place! :(

Just 'cos I'm only 60! ;)

They do say that 'you're as old as the woman you feel', so there is hope for me yet as Lee was born in 1962 8-);)

I have known I had Cancer since November 1998 and probably eventually it WILL get me, but not just yet because I still haven't decided what to do when I grow up ;)

Are your hands burning yet Bubbles? :)

Regards,
Greg

What can I say - that is close to being the supergrandeloquenceofexcessive shittyness!

The good news is you are doing a hell of a lot better than the Turkey so take a day off and have a Thanksgiving to remember - shall I stop being crass as I'm sure you might just both remember this Thanksgiving with crystal clarity.

Wrap up warm - go find a safe lonesome area with a great view and decide if you are going to shout with rage, scweam & scweam with pain of weep with self indulgence - you are allowed. But NEVER EVER EVER let your determination to face each challenge and win crack in public.

When you are feeling very lonely and picked on know that if you look east I'm holding both your hands to give you hope, strength and a happy future.


Go for the second opinion, ensure you know EXACTLY what you face - you can do it - but decide what that big strong energetic man in his prime can deal with - you have the hard job because we men are really little boys when the sh*t hits the fan.

I know you can be the rock he needs.

That way you will both get through this rough patch in your lives and look back stronger together than ever before - tell YMIL to get her back bone in order her son needs her strength not her tears and fears - AND SO DO YOU.


Don't forget when you have both beaten this Mr. Woodie gets the last laugh - when your sitting in the car with you legs crossed jiggling on the freeway in a tailback - he can just aim and turn a tap on.

Remember 'Life of Brian'?
Always look on the bright side 'cos cruxifictions involve so much hanging around!

Concentrate and feel how warm both hands are  ;)

With love to you both ENJOY Thanksgiving [that is an order!]

Greg

Take heart Wife. What you are going through today was the hardest part for me and Claire (Clur) kept telling me the anticipation was greater than the doing and I wish I had known then what I knew when they wheeled me into the OR because she was so right. Once you are on the "treatment train" you feel like you are in control and things are being done to make you whole and well again. I found an unbelieveable surgeon who teaches the operation at a university so I had complete faith in my Doctor which is a big part of the battle. Just stay calm and take it one day at a time. I am sure a lot of the men your husband's age will come on line and tell him what to expect. Everyone here is so supportive and helpful. I know they got me through some pretty dark days and I will be forever grateful.
I will keep you both in my prayers.
Best Wishes....Jean

How sweet of you all to be thinking of us.

Well we have a T1a G3 to deal with. Mrs Uro's advice is to remove the bladder as we are dealing with a very aggressive form of cancer and due to the fact that Mr C is only 46.

Next week there is a CT and bone scan scheduled. She highly recomends a second opinion which we will do.

That's all for now. I'm a little lost for words. I have alot of information to investigate.

I understand Greg with no problems....we must have trained at the same bad comedy club!
