Susan — Today is the first anniversary of my diagnosis
One year ago today, I had a 75 gram bladder tumor resected. The urologist
looked at and explained the rather inconclusive pathology report Stage 3 but
stage 3 what (please see my storyboard update).I asked the urologist “Is it survivable.” He looked down and didn’t say a word –
Not the “no” I was dreading nor the “yes” I wanted to hear.I have posted a rather lengthy update to my storyboard contribution in
acknowledgement of the anniversary. (Susan — Delayed Diagnosis II).
I invite readers.Still, though I now have metastatic cancer, the conclusion of my storyboard entry
may surprise you so I’ll recap it here:I am still feeling well – especially since I recently had another turbt and
had a 1 cm mass removed (a calcified tumor). I have enough energy to forgo
naps and to exercise fairly vigorously (walks on the beach and fairly fast
pedaling on my stationary bike for 20-30 minutes at a time [and I am still working full time]….for today, I feel better than I did this time last year.Wishing blessings and plain good luck upon you all — Susan (mssmr)
