I guess I'm with George on this one, as much as I want to live a "normal" life, at the end of the day I want to live...I will do what ever I need to do to try and make that happen. Even if chemo only gives an extra 5% I will put up with it to get that little bit; and as for the bladder, take it. What got me going was the survival rates even after a RC, but like others have posted and I am holding on to, those include the numbers from those that waited too long. I would have had the 2nd TURBT a lot sooner but I still needed to go to work to pay for it first, that's the part that upsets me. It's a hard choice, pay the bills and hold off a little longer and maybe give the cancer a chance to move into a nother part, or just go into a big hole that is hard to climb out of later. It's been keeping me up every night!
Any how I am glad that it's only four days away and then a few days to get the next pathology report. That should help make the choices a lot easier. Thanks,to everyone chimiing in, Warren
