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
Thats good to hear.
Try and relax, step off the treadmill and enjoy some “you” time for a while.
Take care xx
Really pleased to hear your news brave woman...try and forget the next bit [the waiting] if you can and enjoy a bit of rest and enjoyment.
Big hug xx
Thanks everyone for all of your lovely messages and support xx
Sounds like good news for you so pleased xx

Glad to hear it well the second time. Fingers crossed not too long for the results and I hope you recover quickly. Have a great weekend.
Glad all done and praying for great results for you x
Glad to hear it was all done and you were home the same day. Take it easy now and try and get some rest.

Hi All,
An update: got results from last week's biopsies and there is no more cancer! There was a red patch, which they also biopsied, but that was clear too. Also no pre cancerous cells! Safe to say that so far the BCG treatment has worked. I'm now on maintenance treatment, where I will have 3 BCG doses in July.
I feel rather guilty posting this as I know others here are having a tough time and I'm thinkng of you all xx
That is wonderful Catcatcat! I am so pleased for you after all the worry and stress. I felt guilty posting good news too, but in fact before I knew my outcome I found it hopeful....don't feel guilty just enjoy the relief.
Always thinking of everyone still going through bad times. xx
