Re: “Dying and Living in Utah”
I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer 10 years ago.
I've been through four surgeries, and one round of chemotherapy.
The Chemo was a BCG treatment over a six week regimen...
The 'technicians' were dressed in full Bio Hazard regalia, and the instructions were to carry this in my Bladder as long as possible. The instructions, after urination, stipulated that I was to treat the waste with two cups of full strength bleach, and wait a minimum of 30 minutes before flushing.
I learned later that BCG is used as a mosquito control agent in several U.S. States...
I haven't been bothered by Mosquitos since...
The day after my final chemo, I suffered a 'heart attack'...
A condition that I knew about prior to the bladder issue, and had scheduled an appointment to remedy the next month.
The 'heart' condition was a restricted aortic valve...
I am now related to Porky Pig!
I'm a 71 year old VietNam era Veteran.
I just acquired a Fishing Kayak that I have been 'customising' to suit my desires...
Don't let 'other' people tell you what you can or cannot do...
Do what you desire to the Best of your physical ability!
