First of all, thanx to all. The prayers you've sent for bro' John & MIL & Ex have made me feel I need to be strong & hopeful. All your prayers are truly appreciated!

This AM Dr told Vic about his large tumor in bladder. He had liquid before a 2nd. CAT Scan & then a Chest X-ray today.

I asked for Oncologist to speak to us, even tho' he did not have results from pathology yet, since indications after scope surgery indicated it was a type of tumor that was cancerous & I know action is everything in cancer!

Oncologist gave professional (yet Gen'l) opinion that due to size & tumor grown into wall of bladder that it usually is bladder cancer.

He asked if Vic smoked or had high BP & he doesn't.
I asked about Chest X-ray after 2nd. CAT Scan being "normal" procedure & he indicated they called a Cardiovascular Dr to see Vic next (which we didn't know) 'cuz "something" showed up & they needed to ck.

Before Bladder surgery they need to see if there's cancer anywhere else (even tho' oncologist said he didn't have pathology results back)!! He put on charts for cardiologist to do higher grade chest x-ray & asked Vic if there was heart disease in his family. Vic said no, but I thru' out the fact that Vic's dad died of brain tumor....which might make them look "closer" at x-rays & scans etc..

Oncologist mentioned "Aortic Dissection" & it not being "good" & I just googled it to research & I'm frankly freaking myself out more!!

Man forget the when it rains it pours, I'm in a Tidal Wave right now!
