Had tumor removed from bladder on Friday. So far, it seems to be a 'benign' tumor but if allowed to continue to grow, would get larger and penetrate the bladder wall. Then seriously expensive surgery is needed to cut out the tumor and stitch the bladder together again. End up with a tube up your ----- into your bladder for several unbearably painful weeks, if fortunate.
I get the detailed results on the 17th. It seems good so far, but the tumor returns 60% of the time, in most cases. Hope the detailed results are better.
Could have died, if my doctor didn't demand that I get my cystoscopy exam. For most people, it is slightly uncomfortable, but I am unique and have a sharp bend, so it really hurts. That's why I skipped my exam.
A couple more years of skipping the exam and would have likely died after a few years of expensive surgery.
