You are welcome. We need to ask questions to feel better. :) My inside
are doing alot better now. Still a cramping feeling when urinating.
Still green bruising....and in the morning my incision line is real red.
Good luck to you. And feel free to write me anytime. You sound just
like me. I have stage 1 and my doc removed a bunch of spots too.
