Re: Joe's update

Hi Joe,

Congratulations on your success in outsmarting the cancer. You

mentioned your " efforts in maintaining this situation. " Would you

share with us what is involved in the efforts that may be helping to

bring about your success? Am I understanding correctly that you have

had no indication of tumors for about 9 months?

Wishing you a sustained remission,

such exam indicating no tumors. A cytology (bladder wash) was done

and that result will come in within a week. That is a superior

test to a urine cytology to detect cancer cells that slough off the

bladder and other areas of the urinary tract. Usually after going a

year, people will then get this exam every six months instead of

three and to be frank, I am getting weary of this scope job!!!

continue my efforts at maintaining this situation and as

often puts it, to outsmart the cancer.

I certainly hope so, good luck! :-)
