Good News. After doing a biopsy of the bladder wall, evidence of cancer was negative. Hurrah! Emphasis has shifted from radical bladder removal to localized chemo. December 14th there will be a procedure to remove stints from the ureter put in to keep connection with the kidney and bladder protected (nolonger needed). December 19th will begin chemo, not sure yet what side effects are involved. If this is successful I will have monthly follow ups  for a few months then quarterly. Thanks for all your prayers not out of the woods yet but it is a much more hopeful scenario than before.
