At 25 should I feel stuck?

I think it’s natural to have the feelings you’re having. My lesion was 1.7cm, and I had a partial almost 7 years ago. I went through a little bit of depression for a while. But after that initial period of time, I was able to reflect that I was, indeed, very lucky. Lucky to have found it incidentally when something else was being checked. Lucky that what they were checking (a reason for blood in my urine) happened just the one time, never before and never after. Lucky that my insurance approved a referral to Stanford Hospital and Clinics, where I had a top notch urologic oncologist and surgeon. So a lot of things came together that allowed me to get this thing taken care of before it grew and spread.

People like us are very lucky that scanning technology has vastly improved in the last decade, allowing for small growths like ours to be discovered so early. We’re also lucky that surgical and other treatments have made huge advancements during that period.

Noah listen two these guys they got me thru my dx I was stage 3a and that was 3 years ago your doing fine enjoy your life have fun we only live so long you just as well enjoy all you got to do is keep up with your scans

Hello Noah, my Neph was almost a yr and a half ago. I didn't feel lucky or anything else in the beginning. Mostly it was just the shock because everything happened so damn fast I didn't even have a chance to think about it, process it or anything else till it was over and done with. Now I feel fortunate and lucky and all that jazz, but it wasn't immediate and only came after I was able to mentally work through what had actually happened to me and what it meant.

Hope this helps at least some : )
