I always have trouble putting words to what I am thinking. You always say the right thing at the right time, and you never pulled any punches.
Hang in there and NEVER GIVE UP !!!!!

You are so right, Fishtown Boy, don't ever, ever give up. This BC stuff has it's highs and lows as we all know but keep your mind focused on the highs and not so much the lows. Glad you are doing well post op! Stay strong.

Thanks for the kind words CatherineH! It has been a while(since being diagnosed) and I have had ups and some downs for sure.
I had my Bladder removed in November of 2009. It hasn't been easy but I have gotten used to the ostomy(somewhat). I recently had a stoma revision and hernia surgery.It has been two weeks and I am getting better. I have a hard time expressing myself on message boards. Still not giving up. Thanks for the kind words. I do feel isolated and thought I would try to reach out.
