At age 53 I was diagnosed with T2 Grade three Muscle invasive Bladder Cancer the Doctors Removed The Tumor and told me I had to have my Bladder removed or I would be dead within two years I chose not to have my Bladder removed and sought the Chemo and Radiation route.I did five weeks maximum dose Cisplatin with three weeks off then two weeks deadly dose I had a Tumor Board and thirty seven days Radiation during the Chemo I started this one week after I was Diagnosed because I had found two great Doctors that matched my treatment to my strength I am now Sixty years old and am still clear of the Cancer.My Bladder works great I even saw pictures of it during a cystoscope last month.Thanks for your story I sometimes feel guilty I survived as seeing others not but I think I understand better now.

You're not only a cancer survivor but a wonderful human being , thank you. I haven't been diagnosed with cancer and hope I never am. I am living a healthy lifestyle and I'm almost 50 and I'm getting very serious now about health .
