Little update as requested following my last post.    Although following my cystiscopy it was thought I had two tumours, it appears there was just one which was removed successfully fingers crossed.  Chemo infusion passed without incident.  Recovery from the GA was rought and the discomfort last night downstairs was something else.   However I'll take that ten times over, I'm peeing clearly at the moment (1st time in months) although 4 visits needed during the night. 

My consultant has indicated that I've probably had this with my for a few years and it is likely to reoccur at some point.  He likened it  to scraping mould from wallpaper.  He said without confirmation from histology that he expects further treatment to be a 6 week course of chemo.  Now waiting for a clinic/results appointment.

  • Hi TizzyP,It’s good to hear you have had the tumour removed.Take it easy if you can and keep up your fluid intake.Best wishes for a speedy recovery.Love Jane x

  • Hi TizzyP

    Glad you are not feeling too bad

    It does sting for a few days but drink and drink and drink some more

    Take it easy for a week or so to let your body heal

    I had the same as you in April 24 then 6 weeks of chemo

    I didn't have any problems with it and tolerated it really well.  Made me very tired for 24 hours after but that was all

    Good luck going forward and let us know how you are doing

    Happy to answer any questions you may have

    Much love Tina Kissing heart
