Late October I had a cystoscopy which was showing a tumour, which was possibly cancerous. I also have a neurological condition that does affect my bladder.
2 weeks later I had a TURBT to remove it with a dose of Mitomycin C stayed in hospital overnight.
2 weeks post op I received the results that the tumour was grade 2 hg fast growing, knowing that I was to receive the 6 week treatment of the chemotherapy which was started 26th November for 6 weeks.
The symptoms I had post op I thought they were due to the operation I did get an infection which cleared before the next dose was due. After the first chemo for the next week it took its toll on me for 6 days. Headaches, nausea, hot sweats which are normally from my neurogenic bladder. I think bladder spasms, but the fatigue and exhaustion is unbelievable.
Before having my 2 dose I mentioned to my nurse administering about side effects and she said its unusual to get side effects and she thinks it's my neurological condition that is exacerbating my symptoms.
Obviously coming upto Christmas I'm unable to do most things now that I used to, and just hoping that after the last dose everything will hopefully get back to normal or as normal as possible.
I do know that I'm now under their care for the rest of my life. At the moment I'm really struggling with this.
Thankyou for listening xx
