Retirement vs. Expirement .

[mmcmdl]

So i was informed I have 6 months off from work . A few on here were informed . Chemo starts next Tuesday , continueing on for 3 months , Surgerys for the next 3 months . I feel that it's not life threatening but rather life altering . Bladder cancer stage 2 into the muscle which means it must come out . Might be a PITA but I've buried my friends these past few years . As always , did you smoke , work with dangerous stuff , chemicals , well yeah , all of the above . So I had to work with what was handed to me , just the facts . The smoking , you younger guys have to think this out . 62 1/2 years old and thought I was invincible . Well 'm not . Only time will tell .

Good luck. These days things are way different, the likely hood of you surviving any cancer is much better than it was. Wishing you the best, and a fast recovery.

Cancer sucks big time. I'm glad it's treatable, but it's still a lot to deal with. Our thoughts are with you.
