Hello all, got my results today. The urology team rang me. The cancer was non invasive, only on the lining of my bladder and it hasn’t spread. I think that’s about as good as it gets. They want to bring me back in to check they haven’t missed anything. After that we have treatment options.

Hi Nigel. Good to know your results are in and it doesn't sound too bad in the great scheme of things. A follow up is standard and is usually a lot easier than the first. Best wishes.
Good news in deed, breathe out now and keep positive that it will be OK, treatment plan I am sure you will cope with once you know your options. Enjoy your chill out.
Cheers Bumblebee, I’m gonna have the BCG treatment. We talked about options today. I could have no treatment and be monitored or the BCG and the third option was bladder removal but they could make me a new one out of my intestine. Nothing is definite yet but I’ll chose the BCG if all goes to plan.
im very very lucky, and very positive for the future. Most importantly I can see the stress remove from my wife and the family. To know that there is a treatment plan to be had is great.
thank you everyone
Nigel
Hi Nigel,
Really happy for you that you are getting a plan in place, I know from personal experience, that was the point when I began to feel a bit more calm. Good luck with the BCG , I have had 6 recently and its been ok for me. Quite a few of us on here having it at the moment, so you have lots of back up. Enjoy your chill out time with the family.
