Hi bit of. A regular poster , my dad was diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer end of July , grade 3 .. After a wait of nearly 6 weeks his operation to remove his bladder prostate & lymph nodes has come around ( been such a hard few weeks ) He’s being admitted tomorrow lunch time then operation Monday 8am. I think I’m more nervous than him he’s a very laid back person , he’s been amazing , scared to see him so unwell after the operation As he is actually doing so well considering he’s actually obviously very unwell - still exercising walking still looks the same etc . They’ve said Monday to keep busy not to ring to check & his consultant will ring me when he’s in recovery ( I know Monday will be a tough day ) this is what we been waiting for though but god it feels scary when it’s reality and it’s actually here ….
That is such good news Owen777. You deserve a really good sleep tonight. I'm sure that Dad has a long way to go yet but you are right, it is definitely the start of new beginnings.
Love to you both, Ade xx ️
Yep sounds like good news everything sounds like it went to plan. Have a good sleep.
