Well, the family is facing another health issue.
Late last week my sister, Sherry, had surgery to do some internal reconstruction. The surgeon found a tumor in her bladder. It is definitely cancerous. We don't know the definitive results of all the tests they ran after she got out of surgery, but we do know that her lymph nodes are clear.
The belief is that the tumor is a superficial one that has not yet invaded the muscle tissue. She spoke with one of her doctors today, but not the urologist, so we don't have definite answers, but should know on Tuesday what the situation is. It is sounding like superficial, but we just don't know for certain.
The good news is that about 20 years ago she worked for an up and coming urologist that was really making a name for himself. She was his right hand in establishing his research office. He is now a well known specialist, author of several books, pioneered some approaches, and is chief of surgery at a hospital in NY along with a professor and many other titles. She is going to call him to get his personal referral to a urologist in Texas that he thinks is the best available.
So, at least she will be able to get a top notch urologist to take care of her.
Here is hoping the tumor is only superficial and not invasive.
Positive vibes folks, positive vibes.
