Hi everyone, I really have enjoyed this post. this is my 1st week waiting for the 1st TURBT results and it is hard to stay strong. I have my "conference" follow up on Thursday...my Mom is coming from VA, Dad can't make it but, a friend of mine who is a Dr. is coming with us to the appt.
For the most part I have stayed positive and optimistic because I hope we have caught it in the early stages. Sunday I was majorly depressed and could not snap out of it. I cried for the 2nd time since my diagnosis reading some of your challenges and what could be. Some of the replies to this post made me laugh and I also enjoyed the family photos that some of you have posted in some of the other sections. Some of you responded to my original post and while I have not really replied to many of your post because I feel like such a newbie and I don't really know what to say. I do read all new post...I hope it helps that I feel like I know a bit of many of you and I certainly have added you all to my daily prayers. I feel comforted by so many people in NC and that you are so close even though we have never met or talked. I also enjoy that this forum is worldwide, especially hearing about France. My cousin lives in Paris and my dream is to get over there and see him.

Thank you all for sharing your stories and for being such a WONDERFUL group of comrades (sp?). Tahoemom, I think we were very lucky to find this gang

Maybe you could add a blue tablet to the pouch, and put a fake fish in it???It might pass for a coin purse or key holder....

You are dealing with the King of the Dry Sense of Humor.

As I told my three daughters last night; I am one of the few people that can hold my pee forever. (I demonstrated this by placing my bag in the palm of my hand).

Also, I told one of the peakers at the sporting events that I had a diversion done so I didn't have to stand in the long lines to use the urinal.

Karen,
Great idea. When I go out for the first time this summer to the beach in my spedo, I will be sure to let people know how to minimze the risk of their chances of wearing a similar look.

Take Care All
Rick

RAH,

I am sure that people can sense that something alittle different is going on next to them. I am glad to hear that they actually ask a question, and don't just stare. Maybe you should take the opportunity to be an advocate for going to the urologist at the first sign of trouble.

This is not the first time I discovered peakers. I have been to several sporting events and at least three other times, I have had similar questions. There is a common theme, all have had more then enough of their favorite amber beverage.
There ability to focus on the tiles may have been affected by their consumption.
