Hi there, I would appreciate all of your good thoughts and prayers during my repair surgery which is the 10th of Nov. I am confident they can fix this leak in the pouch and I can get on with chemo as soon as I am healed enough!!

Good luck to all our family having procedures.

My husband David's bladder removal surgery is November 17. They have told us they can not commit to an approach because they are not sure of the cancer's spread. We are still trying to decide if we want to request the Neo - if possible - or stick with the bag.

Cynthia

My second cystoscopy will be on the 19th of November. Best of luck and God's Blessing to all of us

Prayers for everyone,,,,,get back to us with the good news....

You can add me for a cysto on Nov. 30. Hmm. . . Right after Thanksgiving and a big family wedding. I hope all he finds in there is some leftover turkey and a broken champagne glass. Thanks for keeping track, Ginger.
Candy

Ginger, we all appreciate the obvious work that goes into these monthly calendars! Thank you for giving so much of your time.

To everyone on the November calendar, best of luck with your procedures and tests!
