My Dad

By Sharron

1 min read

Hi everyone my name is Sharron and my dad has upper tract urothelial carcinoma. He had cancer in his bladder and that was removed. He has prostate cancer which they are not treating yet because of the UTUC.

It's been a tough road

He was diagnosed last winter, he had one kidney and one ureter removed and as of now he still has his bladder. He is going in tomorrow for a procedure because they are concerned about his other kidney, if you believe in prayer would you please pray for my dad Howard?

Prayers please

I am sorry that we are all here but I do look forward to hearing more about everyone and learning new things.

Sharron, so sorry that your Dad is going through all this stuff. I know from personal experience the toll it can take. Been fighting this stuff for over 13 years now. Recently I have learned what it is like to be the observer of someone whos sick. Think that is just as hard-maybe harder-since you really can't do much but show love and support. Believe me it means a lot to us that are sick. Prayers for your Dad and for you. Good luck. Dan F, moderator, <a href='http://BladderCancer.net' target='_blank'>BladderCancer.net</a>.
