Thank you for your support. It's funny in a way, I moved my yearly physical up because I was having issues with my blood pressure, and I couldn't understand why they needed three urine samples and all that blood work. Weeks went by and my blood pressure is now under control. This is all very surreal to me, I was sitting at a slot machine (I live in Albuquerque, NM) and I thought it was my wife calling me to let me know that it was time to leave. It was my doctor, I remember thinking it was odd for her to call a patient on a sunday. We spoke for only a few minutes, it was the longest phone call of my life. She told me that cytology had examined three urine samples, taken over the course of several weeks. All of them contained cancerous cells, most likely from my bladder. She told me that she had scheduled a CT scan and a urologist, and she made sure that I understood that time was not my friend and delay was not a good idea. So I guess I am a little freaked out. I am lucky in a lot of ways, I may have caught it early, I have the Presbyterian health plan, I have a ton of leave, 45 weeks sick, 13 weeks vacation, 5 weeks of comp and 1 week of personal leave, and I have reached my retirement age. So I guess I need to calm down and see whats real. Thank you for your support.
