Thomas' Story

By Thomas

Last updated: December 2021

I had turntable surgery, since the original CT showed one large 5cm growth. The doctor removed the growth and 2 smaller growths under big one. He said he got them all out but it will take till next Friday to get test results. The same day foley comes out, I feel ok. My doctor gave me some meds. After three months of mental anguish, over two weeks till my next appt to discuss what treatments I will need- if any. Thank you for listening.

 <inline-mention username="Thomas" user-id="4262580"/> Thanks for keeping us posted as you go! I am set for another TURBT w/gemcitabine later this month. I may have a 6-week induction of chemo later, which I haven't done before. For the first time, I can relate to the nervousness others have expressed before treatments. But I'm going to stay positive for us both. And now that you've begun, I hope you are little more at ease. May it all go well for you! ~Jacqueline, Moderator, <a href='http://BladderCancer.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>BladderCancer.net</a>, Advocate
