Got the date for my second biopsy following BCG induction course...6th August...first of the day at 7am...had a glorious summer.  Preoperative assessment went fine.  Walked myself pretty fit after the first cancer in January this year so I have been able to enjoy trips to bookshops, Summer Solstice and my cousin (who is frightened of my mother) contacted me and we have been meeting up which is wonderful.  Feeling very good, happy and healthy...get the feeling my light is shining it's brightest...with two cancers it is two different hospitals so that's been interesting...not sure where the heck I am half the time...!!!  But that's fine.  Got a nice collection of books, making my essential oils, sketching and writing to my brother who lives in Australia.  He's going to be a granddad for the fourth time in November so there will be lots of photos.  Garden birds keep me busy which I love.  So the biopsy will say whether the treatment has worked.  Love and Light to all.

  • Hi,I’m so glad to hear you are feeling good and able to enjoy the weather.Best wishes for your biopsy.Love Jane xx

  • Hi DippyHippy, sounds like you've coped brilliantly with the long drawn out pace of cancer treatments. You have so many marvellous distractions which keep you balanced.xx  About 3 weeks up to your TURBT, then another couple to get biopsy results. If you're lucky the surgeon can sometimes give a good indication of whether clear or not. In my case over the 4 years I was getting BCG I had 5 TURBTs and 4 of them identified new tumours. But the last one was all clear! I remember the surgeon coming to see me when I'd come round, and said "there was nothing there" !!! I could hardly believe my ears. I've been all clear since then (2021) but my fingers are always crossed every year at my cystoscopy. Be thinking of you on 6th, keep us posted. Hx
