Thanks all for the well wishes! I was just talking with someone I met this morning and after learning I had fought bladder cancer, she said something like, "I'm sorry". Don't be, I replied, for cancer as been, in many ways, a hugh blessing for me. At the time I struggled with chemo and all the medical appts, the RC, trying to get the bladder trained, the emergency visits back to the hospital, I wondered if I would ever have any kind of normal life again. Thank God, after the transition, as tough as it was at times, like a woman after childbirth, I can now say it was worth it. I wish all of us warriros could feel so right with life.
Intransition - You are on my prayer list, that you will be saying something very similiar yourself, this time next year or the year following. We are here to help coach you along...just keep in mind, as tough as it may seem, you are even tougher and can manage it. I remember thinking, if others can do it, I can do it...and I consider myself a whimp...even now
I have confidence you will be fine with whatever diversion you decide to get. Please let us know time and date of surgery so I can be sure to pray specific prayers for you. Hugs, Melodie
