I've just become a Cancer Warrior

Latest news. Doc wants me to undergo six weeks of mitomycin. Then check after three months. Any body know what mitomycin is?
The nurse litterally just refered to it as "The medicine we use". Im wondering because what im reading suggests its a form of chemotherapy.

Jack, Thanks for the reply. I fully understand what your saying. Unfortunately that doesn't apply in this case/current situation. The people that ignore this problem I have are my own older brother and the mother of my child who heads a cancer support group. They truly could care less. It's quite disturbing.
As for the necrotic tissue, I'm not sure what you mean. The doc wants to have me have mitomycin treatments every week for six weeks. They didn't even tell me it's a form of chemo. I had to find that out on my own.
I'm pretty much tired of these completely incompetent people in my life.
They really do not care and it's obvious.

A cancer diagnosis is a funny thing. A lot of people, maybe most, seem clueless in dealing with a current friend, associate or relative who is diagnosed. Cancer is a scary thing - Cancer is a word no one wants to hear.

People around yo have no idea if you are minimally impacted or perhaps going to die tomorrow. No one wants to say anything that might upset you. So they may move away just a bit, giving you however space you might need.

You may need to take the lead in reestablishing normal interpersonal relationships. Casually restore the prior norm "lets grab coffee on Wednesday", or "golf on Saturday" - whatever is the norm. Let people see that you are still you. Dissolve any mystery, briefly explain as seems right, get back on track.

Cancer can be the BIG elephant in the room. Tame the beast.

Have plans been made to deal with the necrotic bladder tissue, or is it a "wait and watch" issue?

As Bob Dylan reminded us, "It's life ma, just that".
Make it the best it can be.

Best

Got my 2nd biopsy results back.
No malignancy in the propia tissue. However, there was dead tissue that is suspected non viable tumor. Hmmmm? I wonder if that is due to all that colloidal silver I drank for the five weeks between surgeries? LOL, Nudge nudge wink wink! I'll never know.
My treatment suggested by the doc is mitomycin once a week for six weeks.
Uhgg! I'm not real interested in having a catheter shoved up my urethra every week.
I'm one of those people that it takes longer to heal. I'm two weeks out of my last turbt and p still burns and my prostate seems to hurt a bit. Not feeling good about it at all.
Actually quite depressed. Family members don't even ask how my biopsy went. Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself, but it's dissapointing when your closest people in your life act like they don't care.
Im looking for a therapist, but i have been looking for over a year and not getting any help. That's pretty depressing too.
