Thank you I do appreciate your information on this subject. I have been telling the urologists for three years that I have the symptoms with pain in the bladder and continuing UTI's. I have gone to all three groups in my county and had to go a distance away which showed the mass in the bladder. I have said this before "What is wrong with the doctors in my area?". Now I must continue to travel a distance. Sorry to complain but thank you again. Still hanging in there. While we are at this: ChNGED FROM MY NEPROLOGIST TO (AGAIN) A DISTANCE AWAY. Same problem inadequate care. New doctor did a work up with a radiology group and blood and urine, etc. And had one of my medications (which is very bad for the kidneys) changed. Etc., etc. Feel like I want to delete this as I am embarased. Feel like "What is wrong with me, am I a nut case, doi I complain to much, etc., etc.
