Can't believe it is already March! At our meeting this evening, we had two new members - a 21 year old and a 73 year old (who also has bladder and prostrate cancer). We tried to answer all of their questions and let them know a little about our own experiences. It sucks that we have to welcome new members, but at the same time, I am so glad we are there for them. They were at both ends of the spectrum - a young lady that just had her TT and RAI treatment, and an older man that is preparing for his surgery.
I can't imagine what my life would be like if I had to go through everything I did last year at their ages. At 21, I was in my last quarter in college, I had my whole life in front of me. At 73, I will hopefully be retired, and had lived a full and exciting life. But I'm right in the middle...in the middle of my life.
I don't think I told any of my fellow ThyCans that I have my second opinion appt on Thursday. Maybe that is a good thing because I may have to reschedule it (again) if they tell me they still have not received copies of my medical records. The records were sent over on February 18th, so they should have gotten there by now. Anyway, I hope she can tell me something else.....different.....from what my current ENDO has been telling me. Something perhaps a little more reassuring.
