I’ve been watching what I eat as to not irritate the bladder… my diet has become so bland it’s painful… so today as I was staring at my brown rice and boiled chicken I thought sod this…went to Marks and got a burger, peppercorn sauce, cheese..and a bun….with some oven chips it was delicious….

ive had 2.5 litres of water today which has really helped…pissing like a camel….still a bit of pain but not bad…good flow as well rather than dripping out of me…although the urgency is back…I’ll settle for a few wees in the night hoping the flow is good….

Went back to bed this morning for n hour or so…felt like I’d slept all night…

love to all

  • Hi Nigel,

    If the diet is dull and you're not enjoying it, then it's not substanable.

    I think that most people change their diet a bit after being diagnosed. I went overboard also, but the food I make is still enjoyable.

    I mean changing white rice and bread to wholegrain is a good thing I believe. I haven't had a slice of white sliced be bread in three years. Don't miss it at all, wholemeal and multi grain alternatives are so much tastier.

    I do occasionally have fresh white rolls/ baguettes if nothing else is around, but never that white sliced stuff.

    You have to find a happy medium I guess.

    Great news the flow is picking up. 

    Also glad you enjoyed your burger..

  • Cheers Trevor, it was nice, feel a bit sick now to be honest hahaha…I’m still very stressed but I don’t know why….

  • Getting back to normal after BCG takes time, thankfully the 6 months break will help. Although I'm still having issues, so you're not alone mate.

    Got to plod on right.. thankfully I still enjoy a few beers a week too see me through.

    Have a great weekend.

  • Cheers Trevor, you too mate…

    and thank you 

  • I am not aware of camels being champion pissers…

  • How are you today my friend ? Have you managed to get any sleep last night? The burger sounds delicious and glad you thoroughly enjoyed it . As for still feeling stressed Nigel, you are in pain when you pee, getting no sleep or interrupted sleep and I am sure (if it was me), worrying when it was all going to get better . could that be why ? sending you a big hug man, you are going through a rough patch with the BCG, it really isnt easy this journey xx

    Much love Angela x

  • They are in my world Leo….hahaha

  • Cheers Angela, it’s getting much better…still a little pain when weeing but I can handle it…

    last night I only woke up twice…it was amazing….drank another 3 litres of water today…

    the flow is good…im sure another week and I’ll be fine…

    how’s you xx

  • Hi mate, I am ok thanks, frustrated with doing nothing, but its better than being bed bound! 

    we won today, watched it on the tellybox , which is cheering me up.

    Had some reflexology the other day , which was marvellous. I was about to say I am back to eating sensibly but that would be a lie haha. Onwards and upwards, glad things are getting better Nigel x

    Much love Angela x

  • I’ve got an early start tomorrow 5am so I will finish early….may take Mrs Nigel out….

    you need to rest….i know it’s annoying but you can do it…
