Hi Kev72 and welcome to the group. Sorry to hear your cancer has returned but we know this is the nature of bladder cancer. What sort of chemo are you having? Is it directly in to the bladder or intravenous? Whatever it is, we know that any chemo has all manners of side effects which we tend to overthink. Some people sail through treatment, but most have some sort of aches and pains. Always best to mention anything untoward to your nurse at your next treatment. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
Thank you,yes the chemo is direct into the bladder ,it was stage 3 hopefully when I have the next camera in I will be clear but it doesn't stop the worry there is always the chance its still there just can't get it out of my head ,once again thank you for your concern
