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
