As I said before the whole entire story is in the previous 6 boring pages of my battle (and love/hate// appreciation fests) with BC, BC doctors, Uro’s schedules, nurses, friends and family and more! As well as a touch of self pity and attempts to overcome fear...

Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.
