Hi Guys,
Time for another update. Pretty good news I think.
I've just finished a round of treatment. Sadly I screwed up prior to getting the treatment. I had some Jabs before going away. But when I told the CNS she said I would need to leave 14 days between the Jabs and my treatment. So that meant I could just fit the treatment in before my holiday. Not ideal as I tend to be in a bit of discomforts after the treatment and it takes a week to fully recover. (That is for my trips to the loo to be less frequent and not so uncomfortable.) When I went for the second round of treatment it seems that the white cell count in my Urine was a little high so may be I had an infection. (She gave me some antibiotics in case things got worse while I was away.)
So we decided to wait until I returned from my holiday before finishing the treatment.
Just before i went away I popped in to see the nurse at my local surgery to get things checked and it turned out any infection had cleared up on it's own.
So I've now finished this round of treatment and it's a year since my op. I'm due to go for another cystoscopy in March and then more treatment in the May time frame. I've now moved on to treatment every six months and not every three months.
Add to that if all goes well I only have two more years of treatment.
I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.
T

Sadly not. I will be getting the treatments every six months for the next couple of year and while I'm still clear it will got to Annual checkups for another 15 to 20 years. On a slightly more amusing track. Last time I went the Nurse asked Is it ok if I uncover you now. My replay was "Well you not going to be able to do much if you don't". Why should I worry any way it nothing shee hasn't seen before. T. |

Hi,
Well it had to happen!!
I went for a routine cystoscopy to check on my progress. Where the tumour was removed the area was a little red. The Consultant would not had been so cautious if other parts were inflamed he would nat have been bothered. So the consultant wants to take a biopsy to check that it's not a reoccurrence.
So it's just the wrong time. It won't stop me going to France in June but it may mean I have to leave for France later than I normally would and I'll have to rush back for my next round of treatment after the race.
It could well disrupt my plans to go to Spa too.
So although it's not major set back so far it it is a bit of a bummer.
<sigh>
It's a real bummer as I can't plan anything till I get the results of the Biopsy. It's a real pain in the arse and disruptive.
