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
Hello Angela, busy day again. Played 9 holes of golf, came home and had quick shower before Mrs Garviv dropped me off at Hospital. In and out in 15 minutes. All OK! Came home on the bus, relaxing 20 minute journey. Mrs Garviv picking grandchildren up from school. Just had first drink and food for 6 hours. Garviv

Hello Angela, thank you I had a relatively comfortable night. I feel fine today. Mrs Garviv is going walking with her friends today. When I suggested I may go to the golf driving range she gave me a look that stopped me in my tracks. Silly Boy! Garviv
