As my strength improves I will be catching up on posts here...I am awaiting the biopsy results from my radical cystecomy, but finger crossed I should now be free of bladder cancer and more importantly it wont have spread.Sorry for the rambling post, it is my way of coping and coming back into the real world.ThanksMarc</blockquote>
