Posted by dieseldoc on December 17, 2010 at 9:31 pmHi all,my name is gary,I have hade bladder cancer for 6 years. I just found this site, wish I would have found it years ago. The first time I had tumors (I had 5 tumors) my doc removed them. I did the BCG treatments for 6 weeks and that was it. Now when he finds a tumor he just takes it out. Is this normal?

T1,NO,MO battling bladder cancer since 2005So sorry you’re having problems that required a hospital visit. Hope all tests show no signs of a stoke and it is good they are being thorough, although I’m sure that is frustrating for you. Not a good way to spend Christmas Eve… sending positive vibes your way!

You are part of the “kicked in the butt” club. Pat and Mike are “pushy, pushy” and will not allow anyone to accept crummy service. Their “get to the Best” mantra is a theme you will hear over and over again.
Listen to them! They know their stuff.
So, now you can whistle “Meet Me in St Louis”
Glad to Help

New Man! [/size]My brother had a neobladder done at Barnes by Dr. Arnold Bullock. It was done 6 years ago, and he is like a Poster Boy for a Neo. Not one problem in 6 years, he is one of the lucky ones not having to catheterize.Goes once a year for check up! Wishing you the best!
