Anyone else just find this whole BC journey absolutely exhausting?!
T1 G3 Sep 2018 TURBT, 2nd TURBT Dec 2018. 6wks BCG completed. Biopsies/camera wc 29th April to find out if BCG has worked and next treatment plan.
I'm just so exhausted, just returned to my part time job after 3 months off, needed to go back to save my paid sick leave for if i need it at end of April.
I have 3 young children, my social media feed is full of friends enjoying days at the beach with their children, theme parks. I've taken them on a couple of days out, but then I'm ruined the next day! I missed a meal out with the school mums last night and was in bed by 8.30pm (didn't actually sleep well to be honest!).
Maybe just the stress of it all, sorry to moan, but feeling a bit low xx
OMG I'm still waiting for theatre, got here at 12 mid day
Hi . Looks like an overnight stay for you. You must be a bit hungry by now. I know what that is like. I once got there at 8am and didn't go down until 5pm. Won't be long now. Best wishes.
I got sent home at 7pm. Starving, thirsty and tired. There was no bed on the ward for recovery, so Op cancelled. I'm on tomorrow's list, so back in at 7.30am!!! Nil by mouth again from mid night.
Awww Catcatcat. What a let down. Get stuck in to some nice food before midnight and plenty of water to rehydrate yourself after today. Look on the bright side. If you go down early, you should be home the same day all being well. Best wishes.
oh no that is just awful I feel for you .There seems to be no consideration of the stress caused to patients On one occasion my husband was prepped for theatre when the surgeon came and said he didn't have a ureter scope so he would have to reschedule
Hope all goes well tomorrow
Sending love and a hug
Wilbert
Hope you’ve managed to have some nice food and drink by now.
They treat it all as so routine and don’t consider the person.
Hope all goes to plan for you tomorrow.
Thinking of you xx
Thanks Rily & MaryQ, Eating anything and everything in sight!!! (Including Easter Egg!) Will be nill by mouth again from midnight.
That's awful too Wilbert :-(
So disruptive for everyone, the children will get an early morning trip out in the car in their PJs tomorrow, for Hubby to get me there for 7.30am
Oh no, what disappointing news, let’s hope you are first on the list tomorrow.
