Mark's First Chemo Treatment ..since Surgery

Mark had his first chemo treatment Wednesday since his initial one in surgery. He did really well. No side effects at all. He is still in a lot of pain from the initial surgery ..when he urinates.. but other than that things are going really well for him! He will do the chemo treatments for 3 more weeks, once a week. The hardest part will be that the doc won't do another scope to see if it recurred for about 3 months. It is always the waiting that is the hardest! Keep your fingers crossed.

Mark's update

Mark decided to get a second opinion and go see a bladder cancer specialist/oncologist..Dr Lamb. His appt was today and it went really well. Dr Lamb did want to do another scope to make sure all the cancer was removed before moving forward. He said the urologist that did the removal of the cancer did a great job. So we can move forward...yeah! So no other surgery for now! Big relief! He has recommended Mark doing 4 weeks of chemotherapy to make sure the cancer is gone before moving ahead. He will do it once a week for 4 weeks. So his first chemo treatment will be next Wednesday. Then after the 4 weeks of chemo he will start the BCG which will basically teach his body to attack and fight off the cancer. So keep your fingers crossed this works FOR GOOD!! Thanks again to everyone for all the hugs, help, support, cards, phone calls, emails, dinners, cookies and continued prayers! We love you guys!! XOXO
