Survived the surgery quite well, made a good recovery and went back to work after two weeks, might not have been the best idea I ever had. I still feel tired and at least not so confused, after receiving histology results, no surprise there, I phoned my consultant who was extremely helpful and explained all the questions that I had running through my head. Just received my first appointment (one of many) to recheck my bladder, obviously not loooking forward to going into day surgery but needs must!! Appointment not till September and suppose I will try and block it out until then, I find this cancer quite hard to mentally think about at times, its more the waiting inbetween times, but for the moment I am well physically so I feel really lucky that way.

When I think about it a lot has happened to me since April, having cancer, I opened up a cafe, a lot bigger than I've been used to and I quit smoking, a really stressful time.

Well in four weeks, i have been told i have bladder cancer, went through TURBT op and am now recovering at home. Waiting for histology and treatment plan as are many people on this site so I know I am not alone.. I have had quite a positive attitude to my news most of the time but of course have had a few "wobbles" now and then. I was taken aback when my consultant told me this could return again and again, was not prepared for that, hence I did not ask him questions about my op., which i now have to wait till my next appt., to find out. Just resting now apart from "pelvic floor" exercises, boy! do they hurt!

I have my own business and I really have to thank my family for all their support and kindness and for stepping into cover for me at my work.
