GREAT NEWS

We were told last Tues that my wife had bladder cancer. This Tues she went in to have the tumor removed and yesterday we got the great news that it was a non invasive cancer and that they had been successful in removing all of it. Can't begin to express the relief we felt. The last week has been a series of real highs and lows. Sure gets you to thinking of priorities.

dang good news !!

Not sure how I'd handle this stuff if it was my wife

Thanks everyone. I didn't post before because there's been so much bad news lately I didn't want to add too it. Yes it's a fantastic Christmas present, couldn't have asked for better. Crosley, if it were your wife you'd handle it probably the same way we did laughing in rememberence of good times in the past and tears about what we wanted for the future that suddenly look pretty bleak. Looking for info on the net that first night we found statistics that said 45% survival rate beyond 5 years for bladder cancer. When we saw that it was devastating and more then we wanted to know at the time. Deb and Frank we'll keep your friends in our prayers right along with OBT's wife Marsha.
