A quick update

Evening Nigel. Good to know you are getting things under control and doing something positive. Gradually increase your running which takes you to another place while out on the road. I used to be a runner many years ago. I used to work night shifts and went running in my lunch hour. I got strange looks from motorists when they saw me running through the streets of Liverpool in the middle of the night. Best wishes.

Hi Nigel,

Good to hear you have a six month break from the BCG. I think it does me make a difference having a break.

Also good to hear about Maggie's and going for a run etc. Sound's like things are going well for you.

Wishing you all the best.

Cheers Rily, I do love running…

Cheers Trevor, I still have days of anxiety and panic but I seem to be controlling them at the moment. Hope you’re well mate.

Hi Nigel, it's good to see you back on the forum, we've missed you ️ Good to hear that you are on your 6 month break, so am I and enjoying a bit of normality.

Love to you and Mrs Nigel (and the dog), Ade xx

Hello Nigel, nice to hear from you again. I’m pleased you are OK and your anxiety and over eating problems are under control. It is difficult to understand and comprehend when you are told you have Cancer. When I was diagnosed some eight years ago I thought this is it! The end. I went to tell my children and saw the grandchildren running around and playing. That somehow gave me the resolve to carry on, to fight this horrible disease. With the love and strength of Mrs Garviv and the images of children and beautiful grandchildren in my mind I have had TURBT’s, Rigid Cystoscopies,Chemotherapy, Chemoradiotherapy, two superficial recurrences, TURP, 15 BCG treatments, endless Flexible cystoscopies….. Yet a determination and belief that the treatment is working. I remember the radiotherapy machine whizzing round and thinking Yes,Yes zap those meanies! The same when the BCG treatment was painful and uncomfortable. Attack the meanies. So far so good. The children are thriving, the grandchildren are growing and maturing and Mrs Garviv and I are here to be a part of it. The Springer Spaniel is still crazy. Be well my friend. I do hope you can get through your cancer journey well. Garviv

Hi Nigel,Good to hear from you and that you are doing well.Love Jane x
