I had a TUR Surgery on 2/25/08. Turned out my malignant tumor was the size of a softball. I continue to have very much pain….cannot go a day without pain meds i.e. pyridium plus or mepergane.

Went for a ct scan this morning to see if something was wrong. The actually catherized me for the ct….have you ever had one of those done?

How long was your pain……

After my surgery I had to go in for an emergency office visit…saw another doctor inthe practice and I asked him about my path report from my surgery he indicated that I would need 6 weeks of chemo…once each week for 6 weeks, a month out from my surgery.

Went to my surgery doc and he said I needed nothing…come back in 4 mos for another cysto…..I actually have switched doctors to the one who recommended the chemo thing….I see him next Friday to review my ct from today.

thanks and god bless us….
