Further TURBT

Halofan . Hi Angela. Always mixed emotions going for a TURBT. On the one hand it is good to have a firm date, but then the anxiety rises as you worry about results. The meditation sounds a good way of keeping your mind off things. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.

Thanks Rily

lovely to hear from you , as always the voice of reason

much love

Good luck next week. I have had a couple of recurrences and a few TURBT’s, just waiting for the results of my last TURBT in October. Almost think the waiting post TURBT is the worst. I hope everything goes well. Garviv

I see on your profile you were having your 4th turbt on the 10th. Hope all went well for you. Do you have any idea how long you have to wait for results ?

Hi Angela, I had 4 reoccurrences  in the first 4 years after my first tumour. Eventually after 27 doses of BCG I started getting all clear cystoscopies and thus far all clear for past 32 months. It's just a case of one step at a time. Good luck with your TURBT. Well done with the meditation and mindfulness, I might see if that helps with my latest problem which is an arthritic hip. I'm in the queue for a replacement but it doesn't get the priority that cancer does so it may be some time. I'm trying to feel positive that despite bladder cancer  I've lived long enough to wear out my hip Sending a hug Hx 

Hi Herothedog,

thankyou for the hug and best wishes, really appreciate them. I loved your living long enough comment, it made me smile , what a brilliant way of looking at things. Hip pain is difficult to feel positive about and hard to cope with, I hope you get seen soon.

I read your profile and you have been on a rollercoaster. Its great you are now getting all clears . It really helped me reading it herothedog, I am still in my first year of this cancer journey and its easy to think the worst when the check up comes. I shall take inspiration and comfort from you all on here. Before the last 3 operations, while waiting to go down, i read the forum threads and it really helps me.

much love to you Angela x

I hope it all goes well on Wednesday Angela.I’m so glad you are finding the mindfulness and meditation beneficial.Love Jane xxx
