My father is going to Dana Farber with Dr. Kibel. He's got one more 3 day round of cisplatin and etoposide. He was only scheduled for 4 rounds though. Dr. Kibel stated that they will be taking out his bladder and prostate while he's there. When we went to MSK and consulted with Dr. Herr another fantastic bladder surgeon, he stated that there was a chance they could do a bladder sparing surgery. That being said, Dr. Kibel is of the mind that this cancer is so rare and aggressive that he doesn't do bladder sparing. My father and I are both feeling the same way with Dr. Kibel of Dana Farber. What has your quality of life been like without a bladder if you would be open to sharing with me. Most of these messages I pass on to my father so I thank you for replying to my posts.
I want to wish you and everyone on here a Happy Thanksgiving. Congratulations Laura on your CT scans. Keep up the good work and all the good news!
