I am now nearly up to a year on Oct 2 since I had a biopsy and a CIS removed. I had 3 BCG treatments which were stopped in December as they were affecting my eyes.. since December I have gone from the toilet and in constant pain to having my life back. I am now being monitored every three months by having a camera into my bladder and so far all is good,next one due in October. Plus I had a CT scan yesterday results due …………….thats anyone’s guess. No one ever knew what the pain was and now it’s gone they don’t know why. Since Christmas I have had no UTI’s feel better than I have done in years and that horrible tiredness has gone. But just to add insult to injury I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic that was Feb this year .Due to having comfort eaten over the past couple of years like nothing to do with having an ovarian cyst the size of a football removed 2+ years ago after which the problems with my bladder got worse. I was under the urology unit at our local hospital who took 2 years to finally do a biopsy which revealed cancer. After the diabetic diagnosis 1 up from being pre diabetic we both went on a low carb diet as my husband was pre diabetic . Fast forward to August and a blood test revealed my husband is below the pre diabetic level we have both lost 2 stone in weight. I am having a blood test tomorrow so hoping my results will be similar. .so for now I am just enjoying life and hoping I will be in the50% where the cancer stays away.
Hi Odin . Nice to hear from you again and good news on the bladder front. It sounds positive on you and husbands general health. Regular checks rather than the BCG which gave you problems sounds like the way forward. Good luck with your test tomorrow. Best wishes.
