Hi all!
Well, it’s been a 4 week whirlwind of activity since I started on the road to diagnosis and a follow up TURBT on Tuesday.
Pretty discombobulating when I thought I was in a relatively good state of health and my only symptoms where a couple of UTI‘s. Then I received an unexpected invitation to have a camera crew get a look at the inside of my bladder and now I’m here! A new member to the Cancer Club. I’m not gonna lie, I’d rather not be here but that’s life unfortunately.

I’m still coming to terms with the diagnosis and what the future holds but I’m being positive and trying not to wallow.

Hi Shep. How are you doing? Thought I'd just drop a quick Hi.
I was considered quite young, 49, when I went through what you're going through now. I was stage2. After a TURBT and 8 doses of chemo, directly into my bladder. It was all sorted. That was in 2012. Lots of follow ups with the camera crews. All of which revealed a big fat beautiful nothing. I know it sounds like an old cliché, but staying positive really is so important. I've no idea how they have staged your cancer, and everyone's experience is different. I hope, reading my little story you can take away some optimism. And no, definitely don't wallow.
I've, unfortunately just joined the club again. With a different cancer, I understand completely how easy the wallowing could be.
All the best
