Hi all,
I know I'm a newbie but you were all so amazing when I first came on this site that I wanted to do a bit of giving back to anyone who needs it.
I had my TURBT last week (cancer confirmed). My consultant had told me he was concerned about some shadowing on my liver and referred me for a CT and an MRI. Unbeknown to me he had told my husband that he was pretty convinced the cancer had spread and the scans were to see how far up it had got. He was preparing him for the worse case scenario.
How my husband has known that and still kept me positive I will never know but he did. I had the results yesterday and the consultant was wrong! Everything is clear and the bladder cancer was non invasive. BCG to follow in about a month.
Despite the cancer, I feel like I've won the lottery. The waiting sent me into a spiral of madness that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
It is the easiest thing to say and the hardest to accept but there is always always hope.

Hi SaraO. Mixed emotions for you. Although bladder cancer confirmed, it is great to know all else is clear after fearing it might be worse than it is. I hope your anxiety has subsided. I never had the pleasure of BCG, but good luck with it. I hope all goes well for you. Best wishes.
Phew! How hard for your husband to carry that anxiety. Non invasive is what we all hope to hear xxx So very glad for you both. I'm at dose 24 in the BCG protocol and still standing 
I have found my regular visits to see the Urology nurses a real bonus part of the treatment. My team are fab, funny and really supportive. Hope you find the same. x
