Health Update 2

We received the results of my biopsy on Monday and 2 of the 4 biopsies taken were cancerous so the recommendation is bladder removal.  Not at all what we were hoping for, as you can imagine.  At least my kidneys and ureters looked good.  I contacted the doctor in Gainesville on Thursday for a 2nd opinion and he concurred that is the best route to go in.  The surgery will be scheduled sometime mid November, and I'll be in the hospital for 3-5 days with a 4-6 week recovery after that.  I'm pretty sad about it but peaceful and pretty ready to have this season of constant checkups and scopes and biopsies of my bladder over with.  Still wish the outcome was different but it is what it is.  Will keep you posted.
