Chemotherapy six weeks

Hi Lawrence. Is it the chemo directly in to the bladder you are having (Mitomycin) ? If so, there are many here able to answer any questions you may have. Best wishes.

Hi Lawrence, if rily is right as to it being Mitomycin into the bladder my husband has had a few of these and it really is nothing to worry about. The nurses are very unblushing. The routine at the hospital where he has had his, is to undress in a side room and the nurse places a disposable sheet over the area with another one on top, the lower one has a hole in it for access. When they have got the vial of medication all ready they insert a catheter [tube] and squirt the medication in through it. You will be advised how long to try not to pee for, it has worked well for my husband even though he was never able to hold it as long as recommended. I would suggest you consider protecting car seat or wearing Tena pants just in case, as it can be quite irritant causing inability to hang on. Do take care with the washing instructions especially as soon as possible after any 'accident' you might have, as it is very irritant to outside skin too. 

Hope that takes away any anxiety rather than adding to it. It didn't make my OH feel ill in any way just tired afterwards.

Hi Rily, Yes it is straight into the bladder and using Mitomycin. Thanks for your support.

Hi Denby, Thanks for all the good advice much appreciated. I'm still very apprehensive though, It's good to talk to people who understands. Thanks again.

Hi Lawrence,I hope it all goes well.Best wishes Jane
