Hello all you lovely people ️

Today I had BCG number 9, so first maintenance round finished - WOOHOO!! My lovely Nurse, Ann , is wonderful and has supported me and lovely Hubby amazingly. I cried this morning once it was done. It is such a difficult journey that we are on and I thank God, and the NHS, that I can rely on seeing Ann at each appointment. I never imagined that I would be living this strange life of constant Hospital appointments and I have to admit that it is testing me. I'm having some counselling (through Bupa and Macmillan Cancer Support) and we have come to the conclusion that I struggle with loss of control of my life. Does anyone else feel like this?

I've got my PDD scan booked for 14th November under GA so if anything suspicious is seen biopsies can be taken during the procedure. Then onto maintenance round number 2 with BCG numbers 10, 11 and 12, then I'm halfway through the schedule. Trying very hard to stay in a positive mindset.

Sending love and positivity to everyone.

Love Ade ️ xx

You are correct Ade. I remember ignoring advice a few years ago and I played golf too early after a TURBT. Result pain and bleeding. Stupid boy. Garviv

Hello again Angela, I may be having a senior moment. Your reference to avoiding tv and everything Orange. I presumed you were referring to Sporting Lisbon but their shirts are Black/Green. Or are you avoiding Donald Trump? Garviv

Hi Frank, I can't say its not a struggle to stay positive but I'm doing my best . Trying to stay calm ahead of next weeks PDD scan. Like you, I also want this to be a clear scan. Let's all keep fighting together Best wishes for the 25th.
