Subject: Seeing New Dr 1/18
Date: 01/15/2007

On 1/8 I saw a urologist that told me I had about a 2 inch tumor on my bladder and besides being hit with a bomb I was left in total shock. After coming home I called my primary Dr. and also discussed with my wife who is an LPN the new decision the 3 of us had all agreed upon. I will be going to the Univ. of Penna. Hospital in Philadelphia to see Dr. Wein who is suppose to be an expert in this field and also both a urologist and oncologist. What I'm trying to say here is once I got home and got settled down some this is my life and I want to seek the best medical care possible that I can get. Yes I am nervous and scared but I feel I made the best possible decision I can under the circumstances. Until the I have the biospy I am just trying as hard as I can to think positive and pray for the best as I know I have a tough road in front of me. Closing nothing is going to change from what the first urologist diaganosed but I just did not feel comfortable with this Dr. I had a bifemoral bypass for a blocked artery( 2000) in my right leg and a left hip replacement (10/26/06). Both these surgeons set me down and discussed the surgeries and the risks and had answers before I could even ask a question not that I did not ask some. With these 2 surgeries I was also worried but I felt very comfortable with these surgeons that were going to operate on me. Right now I do not have a clue of what stage I am at but I know this no matter what results I get back I want to know I'm in good hands and feel as comfortable as I possibly can with my Dr. God Bless, JosephF-Joe
