…And this is known how?
This past spring blood was detected in my urine during a routine physical here in TV. The APRN immediately referred me for a scan that revealed a bladder growth, followed within two weeks by a cystoscopy that confirmed cancer, which was removed soon after by the urologist i was referred to (who the APRN confirmed was “best in The Villages”). The urologist had a description for the type of cancer, which I’ve forgotten, but he did say that “if you have to have cancer, this is the one to have”. Two 3-month follow-up cystoscopies and urine tests have revealed no return of the cancer, and I feel great!
I have nothing but praise for the people who were involved in my care during this process. They were quick, caring and very professional. I cannot conceive of how my service could have been any better.
