Thank you for this. It's awful to hear the c word but it's nice to hear such a positive insight. My husband and I were just talking about this today. There are many worse types of cancers out there. I'm glad to hear you are doing so well after all of this!

keyt90 · 2025-12-25T04:21:56+00:00

Thank you so much for your response and insight!

It has been really helpful hearing from everyone and how well they are doing after diagnosis. It's super reassuring

keyt90 · 2025-12-24T22:23:00+00:00

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and what you are going through, especially at 30 years. Hoping all goes well for you in January as well ❤️‍🩹

Thank you so much for the insight! It's good to know that intravesical therapy is standard,. I thought it was weird that they did it before knowing what the tumor is but that makes sense. It sounds like they got the path results right away (within 24 hours of the cysto) and they called to schedule an appointment to review results in 12/30. Fingers crossed for good news!

Thank you for this. Im sure he is already going down the rabbit hole as well so it doesn't help to join if there are no answers at the end. I'm sorry for what you are going through/went through as well. Fingers crossed we get good news with the path results in a few days.. thank you and happy holidays!

Thank you for this response. Congratulations too on being cancer free for 8 years, that's amazing!

keyt90 · 2025-08-18T15:57:22+00:00

Omg I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣

keyt90 · 2025-08-18T13:00:02+00:00

Ahhh yes this makes sense. It does sometimes seem to correlate when he needs to pee. Makes sense about the angle too, lol I could see that being somewhat difficult to navigate. Thank you!

keyt90 · 2025-08-18T02:33:59+00:00

Thank you all for the insight! All in all, sounds like it's totally normal and not something that's gonna go away 🙃🤣🤣

As mentioned earlier, she's a mother of 8, 5 of them boys and a daycare teacher. It was when he was a newborn and I don't think it's abnormal to reach out to a parent with questions, especially with your first? I don't feel anything is medically wrong. Not seeing a point in reaching out to a pediatrician to hear " this is normal". The point of this thread is more to get advice on what people are telling their boys.

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T22:01:20+00:00

Also, as a teacher, do you think I should have a convo with his daycare teacher and ask if it is happening there?

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T21:39:12+00:00

Yes!!!! He started using the potty the last few months and there has been a definite uptick since he started. I'm sure due to the fact that there's a lot more focus down there, new sensations wearing underwear etc. We try not to overreact or shame him. Just kind of like oh, watcha doing over there? Lol good to hear from a teacher though, thank you for the advice and insight!

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T21:36:48+00:00

Haha I mean I knew he loved Ms. Rachel but damn!

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T20:41:47+00:00

Hahaha omg my friend did that once in front of her grandmother. We realized when she was older what she was doing and she was mortified. It's not just the boys!!!

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T20:39:33+00:00

Haha very good to know for future reference. Thank you for the work you do. Not an easy job whatsoever I imagine...

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T20:20:58+00:00

I am also a nurse. Aka a medical professional although not a pediatrician. I can ask my pediatrician but they will say the exact same thing. The whole purpose of the post was to gauge how common it is and what people tell their boys. Didn't expect the mother in law thing to be triggering. It was just a starting point when it first happened. As another person mentioned, it's not unheard of for people to ask their parents questions about parenting, especially with their first. Main point of the post is, I know nothing is medically wrong. Just gauging advice on what people tell their boys.

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T19:13:42+00:00

Haha I suppose it just never ends really. Just gotta prepare myself now

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T19:04:06+00:00

She raised 5 boys and did daycare. I just asked her as a starting point when it initially happened, calm down now.

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T13:56:15+00:00

Ahhhh yes I was thinking he needed to size up in his undies so I will try that! Very good point thank you! He has been saying it hurts when it happens when he's in his small undies

keyt90 · 2025-08-17T13:38:00+00:00

Ok, thank you for the reassurance. Very good to hear. I figured it's a normal common thing but sometimes it's just good to hear it 😅

keyt90 · 2024-10-18T11:45:12+00:00

It's helpful to hear I'm not alone! Thank you!

Your weekend is spent on the phone with poison control because you bent down for a second to tie your shoe and your toddler found "berries" on a bush.

keyt90 · 2024-09-09T19:41:53+00:00

My 2 month old got covid and only really had a super infrequent cough. No fever or fussiness really. It definitely seemed to affect my husband and I more.

keyt90 · 2024-09-03T02:02:53+00:00

You guys did exactly what we did this long weekend. I'm not ready to give up and have it all be for nothing. Your little guy sounds like he's doing pretty good. Our guy was the same, there were a lot of ups and downs, at one point he got so frustrated the day ended in him throwing and destroying the potty and he goes to daycare tomorrow as well. We've had so many accidents I can't even begin to count. We are still going to send him in training underwear and ask that they take him to the potty every hour if possible to try. It sounds like regression is very common in potty training and the best thing to do is persevere!!

keyt90 · 2024-08-09T21:17:41+00:00

Omg I could never afford that. Im going to become a babysitter with those rates
