Good morning all, after 2 surgeries I had my bladder and prostate removed on March the 18th.

It took 9 weeks to get my lab results back following the op, and my urologist had told me that they detected cancer in 4 of the 16 lymph nodes they removed.

Ive been referred to oncology, and they have told me they will be starting me on GemCis chemotherapy, 6 cycles.

Apparently the cancer marker required to start immunotherapy was negative, which I am assuming is good?

Its been a long road for me, first symptoms showed in December 2024 but the cancer wasn't detected until August 2025, was treated for a kidney stone for the first 6 months!

I was just wondering whether I should be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel following chemo - life has been on hold since diagnosis last year.
