Hey Guys,

I'm feeling a little blue about frequent urination problems.

Last weekend, when I accompanied my family over to Cape Lookout, I noticed that I had gone to the bathroom 6 times over a space of 2 hours when no one else had gone even ONCE!!

Right now, RC looks good if you get to have a block of 4 hours of sleep without having to wake yourself up to go and urinate every two hours or more!!!

This may be why I fall asleep in my chair so much. The only thing that wakes me after an hour or two is...you got it....having to go and urinate.

The thing is, I'm not even sure if this frequency is caused by Bladder Cancer. It may be a result of adhesions from ovarian surgery a long time ago. The bowel, the rectum, the ovary and the bladder seem to be all stuck together!!

But then, you throw in this herring, however red it may be, of Bladder Cancer, and I don't know whether to go under the knife for a hysterectomy or a cystectomy.

The Doctors don't seem to know either.

The important question coming from my GP was this,

"When you go, do you urinate a lot or a little bit?"

The answer to that question being,

"A Lot."

I know you guys don't have an answer, but, it helps to let out the steam to those who understand.

I have a cystoscopy on the 15th. I will have a talk with the Doc.

Thanks,
Rose
