Hi friends --

Richard here. I was active here a couple of months ago when my dad was diagnosed with a non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Luckily after two TURBTs he was cured (so to say -- cancer was no longer detected in cells.)

We went on a trip around the world with my dad to celebrate this and we missed the 3 month follow-up. It was in late July but we only now got back from the trip. I called the hospital and scheduled one in two weeks. We're about 1.5 months late.

I'm worried. Is this critical that we missed the follow up? Is a 4-5 month follow up still acceptable?

I'll keep you updated about how it goes at the first follow up and try not to miss the second follow up.

Rich
