Hello everyone,
I have beenn looking at alot of these threads on here to get some reassurance after my dad's bladder cancer diagnosis yesterday. He has 2 types, Grade 1 non invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma and another 3cm patch/tumour of CIS with 'no invasive malignancy'.
Next step is the op to blitz the bladder (in 2 wks time) and then BCG treatment for 6 weeks, regular cameras and possibly more BCG treatment after this.
I suppose the reason for my message on here is to see how successful this treatment is for CIS grade tumours as I understand the return rate is quite high. I appreciate everybody is different and reacts to treatment differently and I probably don't want to hear any bad outcomes !
Im worried for his BCG treatment which will start in 4 weeks and how he will be with it and cope with the side effects.
He has no idea about my concerns as I am remaining positive with him and telling him we are going to kick cancers ar*e! Inside, im pretty scared to be honest.
Any words of advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
