Poor you. You already have enough to worry about. Life can be very unkind sometimes but you sound quite positive and I hope your family help you through this as mine have. Good luck.

Yes I have had surgery to remove the growth in my bladder it was found to be very large and aggressive. On Christmas eve just gone.
