Hi Wendy, Thanks for the welcome and well wishes. Amsterdam on a houseboat - Wow! My husband and I have always talked of "floating Home" living in either Portland, OR or Seattle, WA, but since the Bladder Cancer diagnosis we have discussed changing our retirement plans (my husband who was called back to service after 9/11 retires with 30+ years in US Army, 12/2008) to be closer to medical treatment facilities etc. If we choose Baltimore I can be seen at either Johns Hopkins or Bethesda Naval (as Walter Reed will be closing in next couple of years) after retirement. Funny, this was not something we thought we would be considering as part of our retirement options! But it is true "When a door closes a window (of opportunity) opens"....
My cancer is TCC TA G3 (non-invasive) but the oncologist was not sure the original non-invasive was accurate thus he re-biopsied the original four tumor sites. Luckily it appears the Urologist did remove all of the original tumors. But I was not given Mitomycin after my first TURBT which due to G3 is probably why in 5 short weeks I had two more new tumors. Mitomycin was given after my second TURBT and I feel that this will work this time. At least keep new tumors at bay until I start BCG. Still waiting for call from Oncologist - have call into him as he was suppose to call yesterday. The waiting........
Thanks again for your welcome.....Take Care, Sandra
