Today I started my 3rd series of BCG treatments......where for three weeks running they put the TB virus up your junk and into your bladder.....in order to prevent more cancer. Been a good run thus far....as I am currently cancer free. AND....my doc says when I complete this 3 year ordeal (three weeks of treatments for six times to equal 3 years) that I should not have to worry about bladder cancer sneaking up on me again. No guarantees of course....but it seems like a good deal to me and it's not too major of an inconvenience in my life.....especially when compared to the alternatives. I suppose that at my age I got some other time bombs waiting to go off.....but I an only deal with what I know about......so those other things need to show themselves or just go away? . So....got a little pain and blood tonight when urinating....but it should pass by morning.....and I be good to go for another week. LIFE IS GOOD FOR ME! .

It Sounds like you are doing all you can to make things better in the long run, which is a great plan. That doesn't sound like any fun at all, but I guess it beats the alternative.

Art and I missed ya fishing this morning. Did you guys catch anything? Just 1 northern. Think it was a little too sunny for the walleyes. The lake was really clear and the wind wasn't blowing hardly at all. Had fun getting to know Art though.

This go round was the most painful I have experienced thus far. Not that I have not experienced more pain from other stuff......but taking a pee last night was brutal. Seems a little tissue would pass as well.....and I believe that this is part of the "lining" of my bladder that the treatment took off. Not sure what kidney stones are about.....but dont think I ever want to know that kinda pain. I think I am on the other side of my issue now.....but some of this getting old stuff is not for sissy's. Oh well.....I'm planning to play golf today......I just hope I dont have to pee. . FORE!

Okay I know there are a few diabetics here. Diabetic foot pain is a royal pain it is just nasty. My feet get so bad sometimes I can hardly walk after 4- 5 hours being on them. Even though I'm keeping diabetes in check and got my A1C lowered my doctor says the nerve damage done to the feet will never go away. He suggested massaging them to get better circulation. I've tried just rubbing them by hand and one of those roller deals but didn't really seem to make a difference. I bought this the other day and wow what a difference. After only a few uses I can already tell my feet do not hurt near as bad. Well worth the money. I bought mine through Amazon. www.padousa.com
