Journal entry by David Lehmann —
Should we just stick to the facts or add a little suspense? Let's go with some suspense for a little fun on a Tuesday morning. 😁
Since early January, I began having some symptoms, unrelated to my viral meningitis, and Mayo decided we needed to do some further testing. Over the past few months, lab tests and an initial biopsy was ordered. My symptoms, coupled with test results, plus the fact that one of the chemotherapy agents I received for my Leukemia, called cyclophosphamide, being a precursor that could cause other cancers, all pointed to a diagnosis of bladder cancer. Therefore my family and I were prepared for another cancer journey.
After a second more thorough biopsy, I just received confirming results that I do NOT currently have bladder cancer. The Lord decided to spare me on this one and we are all very thankful for that! So back to normal life again.
