Mitomycin treatment questions

Hello Tomsk, I have just finished a six week course of Mitomycin. I sailed through it without much discomfort. The first course/week one involved lying in a hospital bed for an hour. The following five sessions went without a hitch. My appointments were all afternoon based. I used to refrain from drinking anything for four hours before each procedure. This worked for me and the hour following each session passed quickly. Good luck. Garviv.

Hi ,

Thanks for the info. Hope I sail through it too!

Did you stay at the hospital for an hour for sessions 2 to 6 or did you go home after instillation?

I have a 30min drive home from the hospital.

Thanks 

Tomsk

Morning Tomsk, I went straight home for sessions 2 to 6. Garviv

Hi Tomsk, my husband put up with it, because that's what he does. but he had terrible trouble retaining the Mitomycin. I had to drive home 'the pretty way' once or twice to avoid being caught on the motorway. We put a plastic bag with a folded towel on top on the car seat. Eventually he got Tena pants. You do have to wash/shower extra jolly well the minute you get in if you have leaked though, as any delay worsens the irritation of it on the outside skin. But I wanted to share this with the follow on that despite the increasingly short retentions as the course progressed, it has still worked against the cancer. He's been clear for several years now.

Hope this is encouraging for you, 

Denby

Thanks for the replies all.

Had first session today, so far so good.
