Oddly enough, I just looked and found this interview blog dated today.....

According to Shieffer, his Doctor told him that if he had waited just 2 more weeks (he had noticed bloody urine only twice) then the cancer would have probably invaded the muscle wall by that time. I find this odd. I was bleeding a LONG time before going to the Uro. I'm pretty sure that my cancer was in there a pretty long time. The bleeding was intense in October, and I wasn't diagnosed until January. Does non-invasive cancer really progress this fast????

I was honored to meet Mr. Scheiffer at a BCAN fundraiser last year. He brought his country western band (who knew) and prefomed for the crowd. He has done a lot to help them with raising funds. He has been dealing with non invasive blc for some time now. By the way he is a very down to earth approachable person.

I gather he must be doing just fine since he is 71 years old. Joe :)

This is the only interview with Larry King in 2004...King kind of cut him off on the subject..too bad........apparently it was grade III but must have been a low stage as it appears no RC.......

Jeff,

I found this transcript from Larry King when he was interviewing Bob Scheiffer....

He talks about his bladder cancer...It states that he didn't have his bladder removed but under-went treatment.

here is the link:

Hope this helps,
