Recently Diagnosed
"Hi All, I was diagnosed in March 2021 with T1Grade3 bladder cancer. I had the TURBT March 4th to remove the tumor and a restaging on April 1st. The cancer is currently NIMBC so I start BCG treatments this Friday May 7th. To say the least, I'm nervous as $#!+. So any comments or advice would be welcome. Thanks - Frank "
I did not have BCG but know many others who had and it was successful so I am hoping you are one of those people. Relax and assume that things will turn out just fine. Remember that - you got this !! Keep us posted with your treatments and any questions. My best to you. Linda ( moderator, BladderCancer.net team member) Thank you for the positive thoughts. I had my 1st treatment last week May 7th. I had a pretty bad headache and fatigue that seems better today. Thanks again - and yes, I got this. Frank
Happy everything went smoothly Frank! (Aside from the fatigue.) Did they leave you with plans for a follow up round of treatment? Rooting for you!!
Hi and thanks for the reply. I have 5 more treatments over the next 5 Fridays. Then I go in for another cystoscopy to determine the effectiveness of the BCG. As my wife says - it could be worse. We all have something to deal with, this just happens to be mine. Staying positive
Thanks - I love the support ❤
