It took me a while to find a new GI doctor because as of January one of our main health care providers in San Diego, CA, no longer will accept Medicare Advantage Plans. My GI doctor was part of that group so I had to find a new one in another medical system that accepts new patients and my insurance. I finally did and got an appointment but since then the appointment has been cancelled by them 3 times. Now I find they lost my medical records that the former GI doctor faxed them. I'm again contacting them to see what is going on there. Medicine is no longer what it was before Covid. Seems so much has changed and not for the better. As far as the bladder cancer, yes, it's been confirmed by three doctors that the cause is from the massive amount of radiation due to the metastasis. My radiation oncologist at the time told me he had to do it to such a degree it would cure me or kill me. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't be here today writing to you. So I did get over 20 years. I also did get lymphedema in my leg due to the treatment and the removal of many lymph nodes about 5 years ago. Yes, I often think I've been through the wars but then I see so many others who have so many worse cancers and didn't live so I feel fortunate in that respect. Two of my friends in the last 20 years that were my In Case of Emergency and Executrix of my estate both passed away before me! Life is strange and so unpredictable. Count each day as a blessing.
