Hello everyone,
If I may introduce myself, I am a 61 year old man from Essex, who received my BC diagnosis on the 1st September this year after TURBT surgery and biopsy (Grade 3 pT3 TCC of the bladder). I am currently in my second cycle of GemCis chemotherapy, with a plan for further CT scans after a third cycle to assess the way forward, but most likely resulting in Radical Cystectomy, with removal of the bladder, prostrate and lymph nodes.
This has been all very new and scary for me, as I am sure you have all felt, and everything has moved so quickly that I have hardly had a chance to stop and take stock of everything. I hope I can be of support on this forum and will be happy to answer anything or share any experiences that I have if it helps to support anyone else going through this journey.
I look forward to sharing with you all, and wishing you the best!
Hello GrayF and a warm welcome to this supportive group. Lots of varying experiences here. I had the same diagnosis as you but still have my bladder many years later. Others have had removal and I am sure will be along to share. I hope all goes well for you and hope you stay with us going forward. Best wishes.
