Hi all,
My husband was diagnosed 2 years ago with ca ureter and had his ureter and kidney removed. He then 6 months ago had TURBT for bladder cancer and a dose of chemo inserted and again had this done 3 weeks ago. From the last biopsy he now has been told it is high grade and needs BCG once a week for 6 weeks, then review. He was initially upset but is now very matter of fact about it all - he's not a big talker! I'm a mess which I know is mad as its not me thats going through all of this and I keep thinking the worse case scenario. Any advice for us both, particularly in relation to bcg would be gratefully received.
Hi txrawl and welcome to the group. sorry to hear what your husband has been through. It is understandable how you are feeling, but BCG treatment can be very successful. Post TURBT, it is designed to mop up any rogue cells and help prevent recurrences. Many people here have had this treatment and should be able to answer nay questions you may have. Best wishes.
Thank you so much-I am glad I posted on here as it does help to not feel so alone with it all 
Hi Deloo. You are spot on. When I was first diagnosed I thought the worst. I tried to put on a brave face and cope with my own inner feelings. I also caught my wife crying and realised I was not n my own. From then I was open and honest with all the family and also introduced some humour in to what we had to go through. This broke the ice and got rid of the elephant in the room. It helped everyone talk about it and ask questions without feeling awkward. Best wishes.
