Just thought I'd drop a quick line to tell you all about what has been going on with me. I've been fortunate enough to be introduced to Dr. C. Nickel in Kingston Ontario through Dr. Ken Peters at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak Michigan. I sent an email to Dr. Nickel when my family doctor was reluctant to send a referral to Dr. Nickel. (that is required in Canada) Dr. Peters couldn't do it because it is another country. Anyway, short and sweet I got an email back from him the next day and he said he would see me. That was May 10 and I've already been up to Kingston on the 24th and he has a game plan already in the works with bladder removal being the very LAST option. There is a trial going on in Canada now with lidocaine which is instilled in the bladder and I've crossed one obstacle to be excepted but have to get funding from the "powers that be" as I'd have to be there 12 days and then there is the transportation and meals as my hubby would accompany me. Dr. Nickel's thinks this will fly but his back-up plan in being set in motion for laser surgery of the Hunner's ulcers asap. I know that the Good Lord is watching over me as Dr. Nickel's waiting list is about 3 years. All the prayers are helping!!! Took the train to Kingston last weekend (about 500 miles) and back on Wednesday--was just horrible and am still suffering but hopeful. Should hear from the "powers that be" sometime this week as Dr. Nickel's wants me up there early June. Good things do happen!!!! Thank you all for your responses and prayers. You are all in mine also!
