    I have my results meeting tomorrow afternoon. I am nervous and praying for good news. However, thanks to the support of this community and the Fight Bladder Cancer Facebook page - link below, I feel able to face bad news if I have to. It's been inspiring and informative, so thanks everyone.

    Had a nice slow walk to the shops yesterday. My dog, Stiggy, was very happy that I could come on his walk. Dean held him, of course. I got a bit tired but it was worth it. It's the eighth day since my TURBT so I'll be expecting to start losing scabs soon, I guess. The rainy season has hit Bristol so no long walks today. We managed a short walk to the local shops between deluges. Waiting for my results is stressful but…
