that anyone who has the link can go back to at any time to check on the latest developments. The link will stay the same, but the journal will grow as I add entries. It will chronicle the development, treatment, and sense I am making of this encounter with
bladder cancer. </span></p>

friends, neighbors, and colleagues who might like to be kept abreast of the journey. I have no desire to impose these updates on those who have no desire to receive them. And I am hoping this approach will minimize their email burden. </span></p>
