☆ My cancer diagnosis made me decide what kind of dad I want to be. At 62, I didn't want my young sons to see me as 'sick.'

Or try something less invasive that would not "cure" my cancer but allow me to enjoy the summer with my two young kids? I'd first been diagnosed with Stage 3 bladder cancer in mid-2020. Bladder removal — the medical term is cystectomy, and about 25% of bladder cancer patients end up undergoing this procedure — means living with a "diversion," a kind of tube that routes urine out of your body. I didn't want to be the sick dad who couldn't show up to ball games and chorus concerts, who couldn't go on hikes or bike rides. As a journalist, I had no fear of calling up random doctors who were practicing a newer technique called "bladder preservation," even in complex cases of bladder cancer, as mine was, using combinations of drugs and surveillance.
