I just wanted to say hello. I am a 45 year old woman with HG PT1. I had a TURBT a couple of months. Unfortunately my leg kicked when they cut out the larger of the two tumours so my bladder was perforated and I had to have a catheter for two weeks while it healed. They had a relook 9 days ago and I am now waiting for more results and to start Bcg. It was picked up quickly and I have had good treatment so I feel reasonably positive about the future. I have also just started a new job and my oldest child is off to Uni so it's a challenging time. This forum is sooo useful. I would be interested in hearing if there are any other relatively young women out there with bc and whether you think about why it has happened to you??
Hi Rowlanda . Well, I'm not a young woman, but just let me welcome you to the group. Lots of varying experiences here, so always somebody here to answer questions or just chat. We know there are now more young people than used to be on here. No particular reason for it. It used to be an old man's disease because of smoking and heavy industry, but I think it now may have something to do with the modern environment, but who knows. Best wishes.
