Just an update from yesterday, the biopsy surgery this morning was once again successful with both Papillary growths removed from the bladder... I also have a follow-up appointment with the urology specialist in one week to go over the biopsy results... I'll also be praying for the results to be non-cancerous and hopefully by continuing regular BCG maintenance treatments, they won't ever come back again, thanks to everyone for keeping me in all your thoughts and prayers during these last 8 months for which I'll always be grateful more than you'll ever know.

Glad to hear all went well and praying for good results!
Been busy myself so checking in takes a back seat. Just got back from a long weekend in Boca with my best friend for her birthday. She is battling lung cancer right now and life is short, so I decided I needed to make the trip down. I can think of worse places to sit with my morning coffee or to go out for lunch! She has a scan tomorrow which hopefully shows her tumor shrinking. If not, I think they found her a clinical trial to try, so keep her in your prayers too, please. She can use all she can get!
It's going to be a busy year! My step daughter was planning on getting married in Spring 2025 but she got herself knocked up, so a shotgun wedding it is. Looks like that will be on the beach this May with the baby due in September. And then we have my son's wedding in October. Future DIL has me doing her wedding flowers, as well as attending her bachelorette party in August......so that's a lot of stuff this year for me!
Glad it went smooth, now hopefully the results will be good as well.
Thank you, Lee!

Thank you, Jill!... After reading over your post, I was very saddened to find out about your best friend having to battle lung cancer... I'm really hoping and praying that it was caught in the early stages, similar to my bladder cancer diagnosis... In the meantime, you can also be assured that I will indeed keep her in all my thoughts and prayers that her scan will show that her tumor is in fact shrinking and if need be, the clinical trials you brought up are also another option as well...Therefore, I have no doubts about your best friend being in very good hands with her doctors and getting the best possible care that she so rightfully deserves...
We Got your friend on the list now also Jill, hope all is well with her.
Glad they got it Rocky, I guess I am blessed to not have anything but to befalling apart cause I am old, the Lord lets me wake up in the morning and spend another day on his glorious world

Thank you as always for all your prayers and support during these last 8 months, Ken! And I agree 100% in regard to being blessed to not having to go through anything other than dealing with those normal wear and tear aches and pains of aging... I also would not wish anyone to have to go through and experience having to battle any type of cancer... I'm just very fortunate that it was found in the early stages and has been treatable, at least up to this point... But I'm cautiously optimistic that I'm going to beat this dreaded disease knowing my urology specialist is always staying on top of everything and keeping one step ahead by continuing to monitor my progress with routine maintenance treatments... In the meantime, I will be following-up in one week to share the latest biopsy results, so I'm asking once again to please keep me in all your thoughts and prayers...

That is awesome Rocky!!!
I am so very happy. I'm glad it worked out well.
Please keep me and your family in your prayers.
My dad has passed at the age of 89 years old after fighting a very tough bout with prostate/bone cancer the last two years. He was in complete pain and agony before hospice stepped in.
I go meet with the funeral home director tomorrow morning to set everything up.
Please keep me and your family in your prayers.

If Anything Like in My Experiences It Is Surreal and a Blur and Takes Time To Fully Impact. May The Lord Sustain You & I Know You Have Other Challenges as Well May Those Also Be Spiritually Overseen.

Tony! I'm so very sorry to find out about your dad's passing after fighting prostate/bone cancer for the last two years.... I'm also very sorry that he was in so much pain and agony before hospice stepped in, as is it just isn't fair that it always seems like that only good people are the ones who end up going through so much pain and suffering that are taken from us while those who are nothing but heartless and evil towards those of us who are so kindhearted and selfless and are the ones who seems to live long and healthy lives...
Anyhow, I know it doesn't help very much right now, but at least know in your heart that your dad isn't suffering anymore and is up in heaven watching over you... In the meantime, also know that you and your family are indeed in both mine and my family's prayers...
Sorry to hear that Tony. Prayers for you and your family my friend.

Thank you all so very, very much for the kind words.
I truly appreciate it.

So sorry to hear of his passing and I'm thankful he isn't suffering now. May his memory be a blessing.
Making arrangements is such a hard thing to do when someone passes. My husband and I were just talking (again) about meeting up with a friend of ours that is a funeral director so that we can make whatever arrangements for ourselves now, so that it is one less thing our kids would need to worry about when the time comes. He already has a plot next to his daughter, with his ex-wife having a plot on the other side of her. But there is still a lot that will need to be arranged that we should take care of now....but we never seem to make it a priority and we should.

Yes both my wife and my parents planned out their entire funerals and paid for them. This is such a huge relief for all those left behind. I highly recommend that everyone should do this for all their loved ones.
I was going to provide an update about the latest biopsy results following my appointment with the urology specialist on yesterday, but with the recent passing of Tony's Dad, I feel that right now just isn't the appropriate time, as being here providing support for Tony takes top priority...Therefore, I'll provide the update details at a later time...
