DRIVING

Dana: tell your hubby --- I am 72 year old retired priest and I had my cancerous bladder and cancerous prostate removed on 9/11/10 and I now do everything I did before the surgury --- have there been some adjustments? -- yes -- but at my age I was already adjusting: for growing old is not for sissies. You are amongst friends here and I still can pray up a storm. Hang in There, Herb†

Hiya Dana,

My doc said 4 to 6 weeks. If there was a need to drive, have sombody that could take over and keep the drive short and wait for the fist post op checkup.

Dana, Sorry George and I didn't mean to steal your post. I guess like your husband we get carried away with the driving thing. We will all be pulling for you and your husband. I hope he feels good enough to want to drive even before six weeks. But mainly we hope his surgery goes well and the recovery goes well. As you can see George and I have both been through the surgery, and a year or two down the road our lives are not defined by surgery or cancer. I think we are just more then ever appreciative of life.
Wishing both you and your husband the best.

Oh Yeah! I am absolutely the luckiest guy! I was on the same track that Legends have driven cars in anger. I could feel their presence.
It is no secret among this group that I am a cancer survivor. This year I had a great encounter with another racer who had colon cancer(he is a Dr.) and races too!
We had a great conversation, and he wanted to give me chopps for telling my story to fellow racers (that life does NOT end with cancer) and he was pleased that I add my voice to this site, even though I have very little medical knowledge.

I just want the people who suffer with this disease to know;
