It's been a few days since I wrote in this blog, I'm still just passing time really, I just want this last chemo session out of the way. I feel okay at the moment, the side effects from dose two have worn off mainly, just the very watery eyes and fingernails being a mess and a bit of tiredness, but the tiredness is probably due to the fact that I haven't had a decent nights sleep for ages. I seem to get about 4-5 hours, but it's mainly snoozing as I get up to go to the loo about...

Cried a lot!
During chemo - felt prickles down below with steroids or anti sickness IV med not sure which. Felt cold and used small electric blanket on the arm where the meds were going in. Felt drunk with one of the chemo drugs, to the point Mark said I was slightly louder in conversation than I had been during other drugs. Left hospital with lots of meds from pharmacy. Felt slightly out of body, floaty, and queasy all afternoon with a bit of a headache...

I am 54 years old and since my diagnoses my adult children have been amazing and have been looking after me, as I am divorced. To thank them I booked a holiday to take them to New York in April 2017.

It is now 2 days since I had the operation to remove my bladder tumour. Passing urine is difficult but becoming easier and not too painful and I seem to be going to the loo more frequently than before, but that all seems to be normal. Both nights so far I have had to get up three times in the night to pee. I had a sore throat which comes apparently from them putting a tube down the throat during the operation to help breathing. Anyway the sore throat has now gone away. I have been following advice...
Two days ago I went into Harrogate Hospital to have my bladder tumour removed by a process abbreviated to TURBT - Trans Urethral Resection of Bladder Tumour. Had to get there by 7.30 am and I was the first of three on the list. All went well and I was able to leave the same day about 6.30 pm. I decided to opt for a general anaesthetic although a spinal one was an alternative. I was put under the anaesthetic and came back to consciousness about 10 am. At that point I still had a catheter fitted and...
