Oh for a good night's sleep.
Now I'm past the post-op frequent disturbance to visit the loo, I hoped for better nights. But I'm still either having difficulty getting off to sleep or waking too early.
I keep rehearsing possible scenarios & conversations with my consultant. Having decided (if I have a choice) that I want cystectomy for better prognosis rather than risk BCG failure, I'm worried that he may try to persuade me otherwise.
I guess the medics may feel that the chance of success & avoiding major surgery is worth the risk of progression.
My ipod is my night-time friend to stop my mind wandering!
