Dr. Tyson did my Radical Cystectomy. You have one of the best surgeons you can get. Whatever the result of he biopsy, you will get the absolute best treatment. Stay strong.

@ronzee50 he seemed wonderful and it was less painful than previous recovery from my then urologist.

He conducts several clinical trials so if needed I’d hopefully have a good chance.

Still hoping for an easy to test outcome.

I hope you will not mind my asking a question and if you should, then I apologize in advance.

I am interested in knowing what the circumstances were which lead to your having a radical cystectomy? Was your cancer invasive and/or too complicated or was it a matter of all other treatments failing and this was the only viable option?

From your encouraging posts to others, you sound like a strong, determined and well adjusted person and I admire you. I think bravery is something we learn in increments and it then becomes part of our permanent emotional fabric. I hope this will become the case for myself as well since I first began this journey last summer.

Sending my very best wishes to you. Be well.
