I was diagnosed with bladder cancer 18 months ago I went through the usual bcg treatments 16 in total and found as the treatment progressed I found it very difficult with pain and bladder retention 

six weeks ago following a prostate biopsy I was told that I now have a tcc tumour in my prostate 

after a post biopsy result I am now facing bladder and prostate removal 

I have spoken to a few people that have had bladder cancer and bcg treatments with no problems 

I am now due a ct scan next week prior to surgery 

  • Have a look at my posts and history. I am due for surgery in the next 30 days to remove bladder, prostate and lymph nodes and I cant wait. For me, I see light at the end of a 28 year tunnel. Personally, i opted not to not have BCG as I always felt I would end up at this point anyway. Might be a pain in the butt (or where my bladder used to be Grinning) but in my humble opinion much better than the alternative. Stay positive and embrace the change, I have no doubt it will be worth it

  • I like you cant wait for the op 

    after my very first op to remove the tumour in my bladder the surgeon after the op said to me you might lose your bladder 

    hope your op goes well

  • If it comes to that my friend I have no doubt you will feel the same,just keep positive
