Do we thank Santa for this?

Good news! Dad doesn't have to have the second biopsy. The pathology lab found the bladder tissue the doc swore he sent and determined/confirmed that the cancer is non-invasive. Instead he'll be starting treatment next week. They will be injecting TB (tuberculosis) into his bladder. My presence will not be required.

No, I don't know why they use TB, how it works, how they found out it works, but there you go. I wouldn't have thought of it either. Apparently, there's a small chance that Dad will get TB (he won't be the first in my family to get it), but it's not as debilitating as chemo/radiation, so that's a bonus.

Six weeks of this and they'll re-evaluate him. So, things are going as good as they can. Thank goodness.
