Hi all,
Where did that year go? It seems like it was only yesterday when I was sat in the consultants surgery being told I had a tumor in my bladder.
In that year I've had a CT scan, MRI, 4 TURBTS, 9 set's of BCGs.
I've today had my biopsy results back and there is no CIS and my consultant is very happy with how things are going. I'm aware this doesn't guarantee it won't come back, but I'm obviously very happy.
It's not been an easy journey, but I must not grumble.
Thankfully in the beginning I found this forum and I just want to thank all you lovely people that give up your time to help others on their cancer journeys.
I don't post much, I don't have enough knowledge to offer any great insight for others, but those that do help it really is greatly appreciated. It made a massive difference in my early days and I can see that it has helped others.
The early days are the hardest, the unknown, the fears of not knowing what happens next, but reading others experiences does help. If anyone is just starting out it will be hard to believe it gets easier to understand, but it really does.
Anyhow I've waffled on way too much, I intended writing a few lines and get carried away.
Keep safe all and take care.
Trevor
Hey Trevor, what a great story to bring a smile to all our faces. xx So pleased to hear your consultant is happy with your progress (in my experience they don't make those hopeful comments lightly). As you say we can never be sure we are clear for ever but everything sounds very positive for you. Thanks so much for letting us know, and for the encouragement your experience will give to newly diagnosed folk joining our group. Best wishes Hx
Great news Trevor,
i love your posting , it says just how i feel about this journey and the speed. I cant believe how quickly the last 8 months have gone , and yet when waiting for results , time passes so slowly and every minute can feel like its an hour !
