You have to be your own advocate. Its your health and if something isn't right keep pushing or seek other providers. Were you diagnosed with bladder cancer?

Yes. One Emergency Room diagnosed me with bladder cancer. Neoplasm of unspecified behavior of bladder; neoplasm of uncertain behavior of Right Adrenal Gland; disorder of the Ovary, Fallopian Tube or Broad Ligament; Fibroids of Uterus; Diverticulosis; non specific abnormal finding of Lung Field; and most recently neoplasm of lower eyelid area/canthus. Lots of diagnosis yet not specific where it all started from although I can only figure it started from the Sarcoma on my leg (that actually seemed to start from a dog bite over 10 years ago and by my own dog!). I was in severe right sided abdominal pain 3 times over a period of 6 weeks in April, May & June this year. Afterwards I changed my diet and have not been in that severe pain anymore. I am 64 years old and have 2 children (adults now), married to 1 man over 40 years and am a Stepmother to 8 other children.

And yet I have read that as we get older we should find others to help advocate for us.
