| In October of 2003 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I had been peeing
blood and was concerned about the cause. Many tests were preformed. At first the
doctors said it was a urinary tract infection but when it didn't get better they
ordered a Ct scan. The CT scan said I had kidney stones. When I didn't pass any
stones they decided that I needed to go to a specialist. The specialist went in
and took a look. What he found was transitional cell carcinoma: |

I was told that I would need
surgery to remove the tumor. I was also informed that because this type
of cancer was rare in people my age (28 at the time), and that the
likely cause was smoking, there was a good chance that he would find
another form of the cancer. This form would most likely be inoperatable.
