Thanks for letting us know how your doing, @formydad . Iām glad chemo is going OK so far. Frequently the side effects donāt show up right away, they tend to have an accumulative effect eventually. Why surgery after chemo? The doctors want to make sure that the area of cancer is small enough to remove safely and that nothing will be harmed during surgery. The bladder touches other organs and they need to be protected. Give your dad my best, and mom, too. Just take things one day at a time! Stay in touch. Iāll be thinking of you! Becky
