Thanks - Was your treatment at Mayo?
My Dad died a 83 from cancer of the bladder and kidney. He waited to long for treatment and as I understand it the radiation just slowed it down until it spread everywhere. I mentioned that to my urologist as a family history and he discounted it because dad was a smoker, and I wasn't.

My treatment was in Northern Virginia -- a hospital in Arlington for the first TURP, a walk-in surgery center nearby for the second TURP and the BCG treatments. The medical team is from Kaiser-Permanente Atlantic Region around Washington DC. Sorry about your father's plight from cancer. Last year, I developed two tumors in my colon that were removed surgically in a Mayo-collaborated hospital in Arlington along with most of my colon. This year my recovery and rehabilitation has been gradual but persistent, and I'm planning to bowl in a league that begins competition next week. Martin
