Bladder cancer

Hi Ralph44 and welcome to the group. This is a great place for help and support as many of us have been there. Do you know what type of chemo you will be having ? Best wishes.

Mitomycin C or Epirubicin not sure which yet but want to get prepared any advice?

Hi Ralph44 . MMC is usually administered directly in to the bladder and needs to be kept in for a couple of hours. Usually an initial 6 week course. I went a different way but I am sure others who have had this treatment will be along to help. I hope it goes well. Best wishes.

Hi Ralph44, welcome to the group.

I finished my 6 wk course of Mitomycin direct into the bladder, just before Christmas. If this is what you’re having its best not to drink for a couple of hours before your treatment time, as they like you to keep it in for at least 2 hours after, and it not be watered down by any extra urine our body makes… and no drinking for a couple hours after, then drink as much fluid ( water,juice, etc)  you can take to flush your system out. It may sting a bit on first couple of wee’s and it comes out purple.!!! 

best wishes for your treatment, it’s more embarrassing than anything else.

Hi

Welcome to the group and best wishes on your treatment. I'm afraid I can't offer advice on your treatment, as I went down a completely different route.

Don't be a stranger.

Thanks
