just got home. the news is not good as I highly suspected. they said it should take about an hour and a half. 3 hrs later they called us to the desk and asked for me and my stepmom to go into the counseling room. I knew then it was not good. The dr came in and started by telling us it was the worst looking bladder he had ever seen. he went ahead and did 2 frozen biopsies and those came back negative for cancer which is good right? hoping the rest come back like that. he still thinks it is cancer in his professional opinion but the results won't be in before Monday. He told us he thinks either way Dad will lose the bladder. He said even if it is not cancer the bladder is so severely damaged it can't be saved so he is sending us to the top hospital in Atlanta. He said he will get us in asap. Dad does not know yet how bad he is. I am crushed. I feel like a little girl right now wanting to crawl up on daddy's lap but I can't. will keep you all posted as I know more.

Two biopsies and no cancer? That's good. You KNOW they pulled biopsies from the areas they thought looked "most" cancerous!

No, it's not the best news ever...but still...

What are the options at this point (((Bebop))) What else can make the bladder go south like that, dyk?

TC of yourself in all this, remember! That's not being selfish, you HAVE to keep your boundaries of self care hon!

We can still pray that things will get better, and be thankful that cancer is not evident...

yes hon that is what will happen if he loses the bladder. I will be so glad when the results come back and know when we will go to the other hospital. he was in so much pain this morning before the surgery and the meds they gave him did nothing. he said tonight that if the spasms don't stop he can't take it.
