Is it something we are doing?

The short straw
Sorry you drew the short straw. Nobody in my family has ever had cancer -- any type of cancer. In 2006, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and in 2007 bladder cancer (two tumors). I'm a non-smoker and a non-drinker and am physically active. I've never asked "Why me?", but I have asked "Why?" I'd like to know, too. Right now, it appears I've beaten both. But I wonder if there's another shoe that's going to drop.
Good luck.

I cannot answer that directly but note that we are both in the Boston area. I am out in the Concord area myself. I would not think you did anything to get bladder cancer ...though it feels like it it is not a punishment. Just do as they tell you and with luck you'll beat the devil for good.0 -

I guess we are in the same dual cancer club..though I believe the PC is now gone..
Just had prostate removed and pathology reports indicate confined disease. Cat scan indicated small tumor on bladder that was removed Feb 5th. Cysto of April 21 all clean as was pathology. So, hopefully it will be kept under control..
Be well and my best wishes,

My thoughts and good wishes are with you..
