Hi everyone. Thanks for the warm welcome.
Cynthia I believe my first pathology report stared TA low grade. Does that make sence? I am planning on seeing my Urologist after this surgery to review all reports to see if there were any changes in the tumour grades. I didn't know as much then as I do now so an appt is due.
Suzi, so glad you responded and I wish you the best. I have to say that I get great care here in Canada.
Hi Rosemary, you Anne Fan. I haven't has another opinion as I really like my urologist and have lots of faith in him. I'll see how it goes after the next round and the maintenance. I have to admit that I didn't take as good care of myself as I could have this year. That changed and I have changed. Hopefully looking after ME will be the change that is needed.
I live about an hour from Cavendish. Nothing is to far away on the Island. You must know that this is the 100th anniversary of the writing of Anne?
Sapie, you aren't my cousin are you? She calls herself sapie. LOL
I am in Moncton. Although I am not french I go to the George Dumont hospital and my doc Is Dr. Rene Francis Anthony. He is Haitian therefore French.
I have to tell you all that this site/forum is going to be so good for me. I really need to be around friends that understand.
Most of my family doesn't get it. My brother and SIL thought I had pre-cancerous cells. My SIL likes to remind me of a friend who had the same thing and it was a breeze for him. I'll let my brothers, SIl's know I am having another operation but I don't hear from them before or after. That hurts my heart. My mother, although she is supportive, likes to remind me that it could be worse like a brain tumour and when I am feeling "sorry for myself" all I have to do is think of the friends I have with severe cancer and to suck it up.
And truthfully that is what I do. I often disregard it and say its nothing and that makes my husband very angry.
Thats one of the changes I made recently. I will not disregard this as if its nothing. I know there are people alot more sick then I, ( I have 2 friends very sick) but I have to acknowledge myself. Thats the only way I will look after myself. Does that make sense?
