I just wanted to say all you guys have an amazing attitude. Recently diag on Wednesday. Go for the TUR one week from today. Dr at least told me he was 95% sure it was superficial. CT scan of pelvis and adm as well as chest xray was clean. Just in 3 days lost 4 pounds and pain in stomach, sure from thinking of this constantly.

Joe I give you alot of credit for taking your stand. I am 53 and counting my RC I have had 4 major surgeries in the last 7 years. With my stage and after all my body has been through I just could not take any chances at this point in my life. My hat is off to you. Joe ;)

Joe, When you quit smoking did you do it cold turkey or something else? Glad things are working out, except for the feet thing,,, weird,, Ginger
