Cancer update

Sorry to leave you hanging!  To make a long story short, I completed the chemo treatment on February 25th.  The main side effect the first few weeks of treatment was fatigue, but the last few weeks of treatment it was more pain, with my last treatment incurring a lot more pain than I expected.  But thankfully, that seems to have subsided for the most part, and now it's a waiting game.  After my last chemo I called my doctor's office to set up my follow up appointment and they scheduled me for April 9th to give my bladder time to heal.  At that point, they will do a cystoscopy to see if anything looks suspicious.  If it does then I'll have to do another biopsy (dreading that prospect as it takes over a month to heal from that procedure - I know because I had 3 biopsies performed on my bladder last year).  If I have to do a biopsy and it comes back positive then I do the same chemo protocol for another 6 weeks.  Another option if they decide to not do the biopsy is to put me on maintenance chemo for 3 weeks every 3 months for a year or 2.  So right now I'm trying to just enjoy not dealing with it until April 9th!  It's spring break and we're meeting my sister and a family friend at the beach today.  Hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather and hopefully some type of break, too.  :-)  Blessings!

    Tim & Jodie


    Tim and Jodie have been married since Nov. 5, 1988.  Tim is a retired Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and retired city of Tampa Firefighter.   Jodie is a happily laid off IBM/AT&T 21 yr veteran employee. So I guess you can say they're both retired, but still super busy!  They have four wonderful children:  triplets Nathan, Nicole, and   Noah born 11/16/97 and Nicholas born 5/16/99.  Nathan is at Trinity College, Noah is at Florida Polytechnic University, and Nicole is at USF.  Nicholas is an EDM (electronic dance music) creator and hoping to make a living from that!  We love and are so proud of our kids!
