Surgery, @trishanna? Yep. A triple-header from my urologist who aimed especially at my prostate and removed a large piece of it. That cleared out a view of my bladder, which was decorated by a small malignant papillary tumor, which he also removed. Six weeks later, he found a dozen more of those little tumors in my bladder and removed them. All of these procedures were performed via transurethral cystoscope. Now five years later, my annual cystoscope exam discovered no new tumors, and I'm doing fine. A tumor on the outside of my kidney has not grown appreciably, so we're just watching and waiting, not getting ready for any kind of surgery now.
