Thanks for your response Wendy. That's all I needed, and really expected from the group. Just someone to help me slow down and catch my breath for a minute. What I didn't expect was to be made fun of. I'm not looking for causes of BC, those are pretty clear to me. I just don't want to do anything to aggravate my Mother's BC.
A little history: 76 years old. Dx 08/06 T1G3. Four BCG treatments, then off to the hospital for 2 months, 2 weeks of which were in ICU with many different high powered antibiotics. Seven months out of the hospital, 2 recurrances of T1G3 later and I'm trying desperately to "do all the right things". In addition, she had a meningioma in 1974 and a stroke on the operating table which affected her right side. Then she had to learn to walk again. After the recent hospital stay, flat of her back the entire time, the right-sided weakness returned. Again she's learning to walk again.
As part of her physical therapy I want to get her in the pool. I never thought anything about it until I happened upon a study on the Web. I thought for a long time before I posted my fear to this forum. I knew how improbable it seemed and was afraid of the reaction. But I thought again and assured myself that it was okay to ask. I'm tired, very tired, and I needed someone to remind to stop and breath.
Thanks Wendy
