I'm back!

I was diagnosed with bladder cancer at the very end of 2004 (I was 23, turning 24 at the time). I joined this group, had surgery, recovered, had lots of follow-up appointments, and the tumors weren't coming back. After a couple of years, I started feeling like a cancer-poser, so I stopped watching this community.

you're not a "cancer-poser" just because tumors didn't come back for a while. you're a survivor and you can always offer support to other people here or just offer your story and your feelings. every little bit helps.

i'm sorry to hear the cancer came back on you. don't blame yourself or feel guilty. maybe if you tell your mom and step-dad they can be there for moral support, if you need it. i hope things go well. keep us updated her.

hang in there. i remember reading your posts when you first started posting. i was on under a different name.

hope you can get it done with the doc that you want to go with. talk to them and see if they are able to help you out. some will take on cases where they might not be able to collect on insurance but you never know.
