Reality is rearing its ugly head. DH got a call from his doctor and tests are now being scheduled to make sure his cancer hasn’t returned. Blood test, CT scan and X-ray all to be done within the next couple of weeks and then a consultation to interpret the tests and see how things are going. Though we’ve never been able to completely put the idea of his cancer returning out of our minds it’s been carefully tucked away into a dark little corner. Now we have to pull it out, examine it carefully and hopefully put it back again for another six months.

Sometimes I really do hate reality.
I will pray that all is well for DH and you can tuck this worry away again soon.
The good news is that we have access to all those marvels of medical science that can give us early warning of serious diseases like cancer. Good luck to DH and keep smiling, both of you. And I love the fishy shirt!!
DH had his bladder removed August 15, 2007 because of bladder cancer. His doctor said it was 100%due to smoking even though he had stopped smoking about three years earlier. Because the cancer punched through the bladder wall he needs to be checked often to make sure it doesn’t show up somewhere else. I never thought I’d be this tense re his tests but I am. But I don’t want him to see it. Blogging helps.
Mom, thank you. I believe in the power of prayer. It helps knowing we're not in this alone.
Ex-shammickite, Years ago people w/o bladders were pretty much confined to staying home - modern medicine is allowing him to have a near normal life. And he loves his fishy shirt too!
Fingers crossed, will say a prayer and let me know.
