Don't know many details David, but apparently Zack had a recurrence in the form of metastases and didn't respond to treatment.

I saw that Rosemary was online yesterday so I think she is reading some of he forum posts. We don't hear much from her. You could write her private message.

Hi Warren, good to see you are still there (as long as you are doing well healthwise, that is). I've been clear (except for the positive FISH tests and some residual inflammation and displasia) for going on two years. I appreciate your answering Suzy's question about FISH. I am guessing that my Uro will recommend the Retrograde Pylogram next, rather than another TURB since the last two or three TURB's didn't yield any positive biopsy results. Have you heard anything from Rosemary lately?
