Peter and Leigh,
That is funny, the falling story, thanks Peter for sharing, actually bladder cancer is like that,, we are just falling slower, have time to look in the windows.And in the end we don't fall so hard, and we can get up and move on!!!!

Leigh,

Well I think its in your best interest to have a blow by blow discription of your whole scenario with the bladder cancer with your doctor, He really needs to let you know where your at in the staging process. I know I read about some in my husbands situation and they end up with metastisis 2 years later. Then I get a little scared. As did you, ask away and get the answers to set your mind at rest, and I hope its all good news, it may be as simple as a different stageing process in Amsterdam as opposed to the US...FIND OUT AND FEEL BETTER, WE ARE ALL WITH YOU LEIGH!!!!

Hello Peter,

I do feel much better today

Just talking about it helps also...I am so pleased I have my forum buddies here to help and support.

Thank you for your concern and hope tonight you have a great night sleep...

Kind Regards
Leigh

Leigh,

Could you have been overstaged by a conservative pathologist? As Karen indicated, can't you sit down with your urologist and go back over the tests, CT scan, etc. which may give you some peace of mind? I kept waking up last night thinking of you and hope you feel much better today.

Regards,
