LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT

1 minute read time.

I can't wait for the catheter to come out on Monday. I have lost a few more tiny clots but my urine is clear. I feel I have been very lucky as far as pain goes. I sailed through the BCG, kept it in for the required time and my urine ran clear after the liquid was let out. My theatre nurse said most people can't hold it in for the full time and he'd never seen such clear urine after the op. I thank God for this and pray my results are just as good. My perspective has changed. I look to the future not in terms of what I want to get but of what I want to do. No longer putting things off til tomorrow because tomorrow really may not come. What I want to do is see more of my family. That is what is most important to me. Secondly, I want to do a degree. I will apply to OU - not sure what course; I'm torn between psychology and science. This cancer thing is bending me towards science. The fact is life goes on, it's up to us if it continues in the same course or changes to a more rewarding path

    Sounds really positive.  Cancer gave me a different perspective too.  I also have bladder cancer but unfortunately they didn't catch mine in time and I am stage 4 but do know about the TURBT procedure.  Hope you continue to be comfortable and manage to choose which course for the OU.  I have done a few courses with the OU now and really enjoyed the whole process.
