Hi Everyone, Hope you are all doing well. I returned from a lovely 10 day holiday in Lanzarote on Wednesday to a letter telling me I have to go in for my check under GA on Thursday I am really anxious and need some reasurance from you lovely people feel so down. Lynn x
Hey Lynn
We are all here with you on this journey ️ I understand how anxious you are, I'm not even half way through my BCG induction and I'm already nervous about the cystoscopy check after number 6. We just all have to keep the faith that BCG or whichever treatment we are on will work. Negative thoughts are not beneficial. Keep positive thoughts in your head. Sending you love and big hugs.

Hi Lynn, we have had a similar journey , mine began last april with a T1G3 CIS . Have a look at my profile as i have recorded all of treatment and reactions. The post induction cystoscopy for you cant come quick enough to stop the what ifs (they are tormenting in the middle of the night like a little bully), It is an anxious time and you will get through it. I try distracting my thoughts with mindfulness and sleep stories . Learning how to breathe to relax is so important. It doesn't stop the anxiety just helps me cope better with it. Stay in touch, we bladder babes will hold you steady . Sending you a big hug
Much love Angela x
