;)Thankyou to all of you. I am as always thankful for the suport. I am going to ask my wife to post how it is going this weekend. I hope to be home by Christmas Day. I dont think the hospital will have internet. Shirley will stay with me at least the first night. They have a rolaway bed to bring into my room. Thanks again from Don

Don,

Good luck with the surgery. You've certainly been a trooper through all of this.
I know you will be glad when it is over.

I will be thinking of you, Buddy.

Your friend,
Rosemary

Don, My thoughts and prayers are for an uncomplicated surgery and post op for you. I have followed your posts these past 22 months and have admired how you methodically and logically stayed informed and went for your various treatments, check ups and were supportive of others needs on the forum. I personally have gained more courage, comfort and reassurance from reading the posts to you from those who have been through a cystectomy. Isn't it reassuring to know that this wonderful, experienced, caring and informative grouping of people will be here post op for your support and guidance also? Rosie

Don,
Wishing you the very best and you will be in my prayers.

Keep that attitude!

Hey Don, Battle on, go for it, get it over with, GREAT ATTITUDE, after its over you can smile at your wife and she'll say, its all good , promise, afterall your asleep and loved ones are tearing there hair out. I was amazed at how the surgery was not the culprit at all, just the aggrivation of the waiting, you'll be fine, and a good path report to, nobody wants chemo, Gene escaped it as well, so lucky are we to be in that group. So far anyway,,,,you'll not forget what you did christmas of 2007...call anytime Don,,your in our thoughts and prayers,, shirley too,,,, Ginger Beane
