Hi, Jean,
Spoke with my sister, Ava, today. She is having a very good day... she said the Detrol "kicked in"! We spoke about you and this forum. I sent her the link. She hasn't been up to visiting here because she has been voiding every minute and a half until today. Plus, she seemed more receptive to the idea of learning more today.
We had some good laughs, many at the expense of her husband! Not mean!!! He's a real meat-and-potatoes guy, so I told her when I go to CT, I was bringing my very best tofu recipes--just for him! He's an easy mark, and also has a great sense of humor!
Yesterday,
100 Questions & Answers About Bladder Cancer, by Ellsworth and Carswell, arrived. It's a solid piece of work, which I recommended to Ava and her children. I think it's as clear as the info on this forum! And that's a wonderful thing!
In talking with her, I believe she has CIS. Plus tumors.
Today she called the surgeon and made appointments for her presurgery lung and bone scans. We should be finding out soon when those are. Also, the surgeon will perform a cystoscopy early next week. He was unable to do that on Tuesday. We will learn much, much more from him than we did from the first urologist.

So sorry for being an idiot here.
Will write when we have actual information.
Keep well, everyone!
