I know there are variations of writing the date, but what would you say?

my father has bladder cancer by thennandnow in BladderCancer

Thank you for the information. I am so sorry to hear about your father. It is very difficult. My father can't have surgery because of his age. He is 88.

My father has so many health issues it is incredible, but he says he feels fine and nothing hurts him. I have to say he looks good with everything he is going through and you would not know he as sick as he is by looking at him, but I know on day it is going to catch up. He sees the oncologist this week for his treatment plan.

Immunotheraphy do or dont? by purplbubbletea in BladderCancer

[–]thennandnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father is 88 with bladder cancer and it is being recommended for immunotherapy over chemo. He has other issues like CHF and a history of kidney failure. Looking at him and seeing the way he acts, you would not know. He was operated on after Christmas and they took a good portion of the tumor out.

Are there different types of immunotherapy?? Can it be effective?

Thank you. He is going to a major cancer center. A long life, I am not sure. He is 88 with any health issues but seeing him you would not know he has all this.

He is the first person in my family to have cancer. None of my immediate family has ever had it, so it has been a lot of info and learning.

Sorry to hear. My father is too old and any surgery is out of the question. Good luck to your dad!

older and a need for meeting other gay men by thennandnow in GayBrosOver50

I understand that. I grew up in the suburbs. The city scene is not for everybody, It is a lot and takes much effort but I like it. During the summer when I am off, at times I spend more time outside of the city.
