The next afternoon I was on an operating table for treatment for bladder cancer. Has been all good for about 8 years, but ohhh fuck, the chemo instill they inject directly into your bladder via the urethra is a horror. For about a week it burns like hell each time you take a piss, but I'm alive.

Any sign of abnormal urine, FFS get tested, it might just save your life.
Holy crap, what a tale. Glad to hear you’re okay and that you got it in time.
