One month from first symptoms to a cure for bladder cancer.
A few days before Christmas I noticed I had blood in my urine. The morning of December 26th I texted Dr Karlyn. She responded almost immediately with a tentative diagnosis (bladder cancer) and ordered a urine test and an ultrasound scan of the pelvic area. By the afternoon of Thursday the 28th I had most of the results and it did indeed look like I had a tumor in my bladder. That same day she helped me arrange an appointment with a specialist she recommended, Dr. Satterthwaite, forJanuary 10th. He subsequently scoped the bladder and confirmed the presence of a tumor. We then scheduled the operation for January 23rd. I was home that same evening, greatly relieved to know that the tumor was an early stage cancer and it had been removed. This is how medicine should work!
