Thanks Birgitta . . . I don't think we've got any good treatment options for the tMDS; I'm more concerned about his quality of life now. Guess I can envision the stress of this surgery and recovery pushing the tMDS into high gear . . . but then I see the positive side of the feeling of being able to fight the UTUC rather than just sit back and let the cancer push us around. I really hate cancer and all the impossible decisions it forces us into. We also have a possible thyroid cancer niggling at us . . . it's just on the back burner until we deal with this.
