So listen: I don't love talking about my health in public, but I think I have an important message for anyone who has EVER smoked cigarettes. Unknown to almost everyone, the #2 cause of bladder cancer in men and women, after genetics, is prior smoking. Urologists should be warning everyone that has ever smoked to get a regular cystoscopy, (not painful). In that critical early stage, these cancers can ONLY been seen by visual inspection. That's it.
As for me, I will probably be fine. Probably. I need surgery again to remove 2nd case of “superficial tumors” in 3 months, and then 6 weeks of chemo. Not the type to take my hair, or cause other dramas, but still not much fun. And reasonably effective in keep it contained for a long time. These only get “aggressive” in 3% of cases, doc says.
@shoq In general.
@AlliFlowers @shoq lemon drops!
@reckoneer Lemon drops work well, too. I found comfort in the little green candies (no clue what the flavor is) that they give you after your meal at many Thai restaurants. @shoq
@shoq, best of luck!
@AlliFlowers @reckoneer
i think you're referring to the little guava hard candies? does the packaging look like this? (image found via search engine and not my own)
@wookiearocket YES!! Those are the ones. Thank you! @shoq @reckoneer
@wookiearocket @shoq @AlliFlowers @reckoneer Oh those are so good! I love 'em!
@AlliFlowers Is that specifically for this type of chemo, or in general?
