Ray and Bladder Cancer

I first contracted bladder cancer in 1996 at the age of 51 the tumor was removed surgically, but grew back, i was then referred for a six week course of radiotherapy, from then on i have had check ups every three months and regular biopsies taken, luckily my tumor has not returned, even though my consultant tells me it was a very invasive type.

So here i am at 62, still getting checkups and being grateful for all the wonderful help and dedication i have received.
