Hi Cynthia, It was nice to read your post and realize we are all going through the same thing. It's coming up on 2 years for me. A friends father now has bladder cancer and I recomended this forum to him and it reminds me of a lot of what I and all of us have gone through. I do get a sour laugh when I have a cat scan and read the warnings that cat scans can cause cancer. I guess I have a black sense of humor to maintain my sanity. My oncologist told me the cancer I die from will probably not be BC.

I just found and joined this site. I'm very glad to know that there is a bladder cancer society; I got a fancy booklet of all kinds of cancer resources at the specialist's office and was a little miffed to look at the list of all the different cancer groups, and seeing none listed for my disease.

Don't need to start a new thread since I don't have any burning questions right now. I have an RC scheduled for Sept. 11 and go for pre-admission testing tomorrow. Had a TURBT in July and the doc will do a scope tomorrow as well, it'll be interesting to see what the site looks like.

It's strange having this scary disease, while feeling perfectly fine after the TUR healed. Just trying to make the best of the few days left with my bladder, I guess.
