Bladder Cancer challenge


by: Carol on Mon, Mar 31 2008

I was diag. with bladder cancer in 2003. I did 13 BCG treatments after removal of the original tumor. In 2006, two more tumors appeared during an exam. I decided to have the bladder removed and a neo-bladder made from my intestine. It was a difficult surgery and recovery; but it saved my life. I have some side affects, but even they are improving. It was the best decision for me. I am positive and doing very well a year and a half later.
