For DDoyle, It went like this for me
On oct 3rd 2006 , my birthady, i noticed at work blood and clots in my urin. I then went to see my PC and he refered me to a urologist. After a cat scan i went to see this Uro , he scoped me and said i was a swollen prostate. I was then put on meds and the blood seem to go away after some pretty painful passages of blood clots. I noticed that it was quite not gone so i recontacted this Uro, He then said that is was prostate prob again,By this time i said to myself, this guy is wrong, I then told him that i belived it was more than that. He aggreed and had a second Cat done. This time he must have looked harder because there was 1 cm tumor. I went in for a turb, he removed it, said he belived it was all gotton, After that Path came back saying grade 3 t2 no mo, Invasive into the fatty tissue and might have been involved with the muscel. I had by that time read all that i could to make my desision, As soon as i decided to go the bladder sparing route that Uro dumped me quick. I remeber when me and my wife were in his office, I have done 200+ scopes and missed only one tumor in thet time(quote), I was number 2 apparently. I then went into Radiation and chemo treatment, 32 sets of radiation and 3 set of Cisplatin at 710 mill each.To date 3 scopes, 1 cat and no recurances. I keep my fingers crossed all the time. Best of luck to you in your desison
