I thought I'd give blogging a go as since my husband Patrick was diagnosed with invasive bladder cancer in February I have found it therapeutic to write down what we are going through and how I'm feeling.
Pat underwent 3 rounds of chemo after diagnosis and 2 weeks ago had a radical cystectomy. He came home from hospital yesterday. Having him in the hospital brought to the surface the fear I have been feeling since his diagnosis. I'm hoping having thought through the different possibilities for our future I can better cope when these fears resurface, as they are bound to do.
We're going to be concentrating on Pat's recovery from the op and not dwelling on future treatments - we don't get the results from the biopsies for another 6 weeks so there is no point beating ourselves up about what the future holds.
