Add that to the list of risk factors I didn't have. I had to learn to swim in order to graduate from RPI so I certainly didn't swim much before college. It's clear to me that it just shouldn't have happened >:( ... but it did :-\

Yes, thanks, Zach I am happy to say the silver lining in my bladder cancer journey is that I am able and willing to help others through my particular experience with BCG, overstaging, recurrences of low grade and the changes and modifications in the prognosis, best treatments and clarification on my particualr type and grade over the seven years of which I have been aware, researched and advised. I am glad to share my knowledge with others to return the favor of what has been given to me through others on this journey and that lady who has been so much a positive force for myself because she wanted to help her sister.

Exactly.

As the famous last line in John Irving's novel The World According to Garp says, "In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases."

Joe, my dad was a truck driver like you. If I remember when I get back, I'm going to tell you a funny story about the 1949 Peterbilt he used to drive.

No, you quoted me pretty correctly. :)

I wrote so darn much on that post I forgot everything I said!

The second part-the length and breadth and reason and moderation--better explains what i really meant.

I was so long-winded that I couldn't even remember what I wrote. ;D
