What wonderful news about your recent scan results! Navigating life with a urostomy after such a major surgery takes incredible strength, and sharing your journey in this supportive community can help others who may be facing similar challenges. Many people find that connecting with others who understand the day-to-day realities of living with these changes can make a real difference in their adjustment and relationships.

For now is the best we can hope for. My last scan was clear also. I have another one scheduled for tomorrow. Kinda nervous and anxious. Two in a row would be awesome. Take good care.

I was diagnosed with CML just 3 weeks ago. Iam not due for any appointments with my doctors till October. I am 88 and live alone.I have only read what can be in store for me,and it sounds scarier than the disease.My family are so busy I just do not get to see them often.I have noticed that people tend to push you away when you have a disease that can kill.I am so lonely now and very depressed.Any help from others in my position.What am I in store for?
