Hi friends, I had another biopsy on Monday following BCG's 7.8,9 in September as part of the maintenance plan. The initial feedback afterwards from the consultant was that it went well and bladder looked clear and it will take a couple of weeks for the biopsy results. My diagnosis is T1G3 and CIS, so I was relieved to hear it was clear as thats half the battle. However, she informed me that I need to have an MRI on my prostate as following the Digital rectal examination it is now firm and bulky right lobe. I now realise that cancer of the prostate is defintely a possibility and as you can imagine, I am devatsted. I am one year into my bladder cancer journey and thought I was making good progress and managing it well and now there is this curve ball. I have just found out my MRI isn't until December 22nd which means I have to wait until after Christmas for results, so as you can imagine this is a real set back which I am finding difficult.

Hi Frank. It sounds like possible good news on the bladder front, but sorry to hear the setback with your prostate. I see you have had some good advice from the guys in the prostate group. I hope all goes well with the MRI. The timing never seems right for these things, but hopefully you can put your worries on hold over Christmas when waiting for results. Best wishes.
