cancer update

My friend went back to the Urologist to get the update on his bladder cancer.

The report from the Pathologist was in. The word was good. His cancer is a very slow growing variety and should take to treatment well.

About the time he is all healed from the last surgery they are going to do it again and do more. Being totally non medical the terms mean little!

All of this surgery is done without an incision by going up the urethra. That sounds better on one level and is totally scary on another. Luckily the surgery is done with robotics and not the doctor’s hands!

Oh the miracles of modern medicine.
