Hi everyone

I just want to share my positive news. Two weeks ago I had  another flexi and thankfully it is all clear, bladder looking good again, and today I  started BCG number 13th as part of my first year maintenance. I am feeling so relieved because it has been a stressful 18 months from diagnosis G3Ta CIS, plus 4 biopsies, 12 BCG's and a prostate cancer diagnosis  along the way which thankfully turned out to be very low grade only requiring monitoring. I wanted to share my update to support you all on our roller coaster journey of diagnosis and treatment. I was feeling low and down six months ago with all this going on but we keep going, support each on here and get through it and every bit of good news helps.

Wishing you all a happy weekend

Frank

    Hello Angela, I hope you are well? Feels like ages since I sent you a message. It’s Friday again and that means Curry Night. Tandoori Chicken with sag aloo and Naan. Cooking music John Mellencamp. A couple of beers and watching a film with Mrs Garviv tonight. I am well at the moment and long may that continue. Stay well Angela x

    Hi Garviv, feels like ages . Good to hear from you and it sounds like you are having a lovely evening, just bliss. We had curry also, however my son seems to have found his inner chef and is experimenting recipes ! its all been good so far, I have even eaten Orzo ( didnt know what it was before, sounds exotic but it isnt) . Its a new experience for me having someone do the cooking, letting go of my kitchen was harder than i thought haha. Hope you have a lovely weekend Garviv. I am still waiting on scan results so i have a background anxiety going on , whether I like it or not. Its been 3 weeks, so i will give it another week before i ring up. My CNS is off because her mother is gravely ill, so i dont want to mither them just yet . Take care Garviv xx

    Much love Angela x
