Hi everyone, I’ve not been on here much lately ( other problems for my husband)  but after 22 flexi scopes and 12 years of having bladder cancer, 15 BCGs I have at last been discharged. Pta grade 3.

Im not leaving the group but thought I’d let the new people know  there is life after bladder cancer, I know how scared I was on the 7th Nov 2011 when the doctor said it could be bladder cancer. 
Good luck everyone xx

  • Sorry no I’ve no tips as I was just the same as you, so very scared and the waiting is the worst. It’s not long to wait now once things get started it’ll seem a lot better, praying it’s not too bad and do come back and let us know xx

  • Hello JoyceF, it’s a scary time for us all. However, once you get the diagnosis and a treatment plan is put forward everything seems clearer and less frightening. One piece of advice is to avoid Google at all costs. Look at MacMillan, Cancer Research UK. Or ask people on this wonderful, informative forum. Good luck Garviv
