    It has been awhile since I have posted an update… I was in and had a cystoscope done to recheck my bladder and I(we) am pleased to say that all that is left in the bladder is scarring. Also everything else is stable, I just have regular ct scans and follow up appointments every 3 months. Would like to give special Thanks to Jack Moon for referring me to the wonderful doctor(s) that I now have and to all members of this great group for the advice and support given to me(us).

    Great news GregO! The lesson here for all of us is to never give up hope, stay positive, and get the best possible medical staff in your corner. That is exactly what GregO has done. So happy for you and your family my friend.
    All the best,
    Jack

    Well it`s been a few month`s that I have been on here, had a few set backs but getting through it,my lymph nodes have been enlarged and causing blood flow problems to my leg,have new spots on my lungs. So my oncologist said that it is time to take action! There is a new drug available called Tecentriq which i start next week. He said that it takes 3-4 months to see if it is going to work for me. Hoping that this works for me.

    It has been a while since I have been on, I have had some ups and downs. My cancer has began too progress and I had to have a stent put in my ureter because I have enlarged lymph nodes pressing against it causing my kidney not to drain, as soon as the stent was put in it was almost instant pain relief. Hope that it works. Two weeks from now we meet with my oncologist to discuss treatment options best suited for me. I do know that immunotherapy is not one of them, as it was causing to many problems for me.
