"Recovering from my 2nd bladder cancer surgery and not feeling that great."
I wish you were feeling better. When was your surgery? Time heals. I hope you start to feel yourself again soon. Jill (Team Member) Thank you. I hope so, too. I was supposed to begin BCG treatments last week, but I had to cancel last week and this week. I know they want me to get started, but I am not up to that yet. They found 3 tumors and removed them. I also had radiation damage to my ureter (this was from my 1st surgery treatment) and a tumor on the ureter.
"Ok. I had another PET scan yesterday and am waiting for the results. It is a little scary."
"Scared. I am about to start chemo and radiation."
