Hi all well here i am a newbe with cancer stage 2 isolated bladder cancer .
It took 13 months to get this far ans by pure luck from a doctor i saw in a differant location at a hospital..
I have had the treatment with the lazer ..sorry forgot. Technical name with biopsy four times that dis not work that lead to find out I'm on stage 2.
Just had the 6 week course with BCG TB into bladder
One day had to go to work in the same day told of issue but bullied onto working so with the side effect migraine diarrhea abdomen pains just had to cope.
Its been hard feeling tired all the time which seems to annoy the manager for not moving at the speed he wants been call lazy ect..
Yep made mistakes who don't with my cancer( not as serious as others ) to the point of supervison...
information that should of been kept with the manager he passed it to a supervisor ..wasnt pleased and ither issuse just mounted up over time
I feel being forced out ,not treated the same when want to go home ect
Had a total.melt down at work. Totally emotional stressed
Does anyone have the same issues and what did they.do
Hi yes I’ve got bladder cancer. 2 years ago I was also missed diagnosed with kidney cancer. Which spread to lymph nodes. I’ve had BCG back last year. But sadly didn’t work. So I have both. Pain in back terrible. Feels like someone as a fist speeding in your back. Constantly. An drained all the time. Like you done a marathon. I was have kidney bladder and uterus etc. removed. An in February last mth. Surgeon decided not having it a going to give me chemotherapy. Which I haven’t yet been seen. Not had any treatment all appointments for last 5 mths. I do hope you get sorted. I wish you luck. Take care x
