I have had IC for 7 years I am married w/4 kids the youngest is 13 It has gotten really bad the last 2 years and my dcotor says it will not get better. Recently I got cancer in the tube that connects the badder to the kidney and had my bladder removed I am still in pain but it saved my life, I have had three cancers and I just don't know what is next
