....and you carry on hanging in there Anne!
You were so kind to me, when mum was first diagnosed and I've been trawling the net to see if you have posted an update on here or BCAN. I've read so much in the past few months, people told they have so long with or without treatment and the reality is, the doctors don't know. I'm pleased you are doing the chemo, but like Pat said, which chemo regime will they use, or do they try a cocktail of both?
I for one am thinking of you and willing you better. Be strong.

How do they know which chemo regimen to give you if they can't decide on breast or bladder?

Well - saw both the Uro Doc and the Oncologist today. Hmm - turns out the Uro team think it is all breast related and then the breast guy said it is all bladder related. Basically they both said it does not look good and we will probably never know what is going on.
When pushed they both gave me about 12 months without treatment so I have decided to go for chemo starting on 9th June. After 3 or 4 sessions they will re-do the CT scan and have a look to see if things are slowing down. If not I will be able to decide whether or not to complete the course.
Obviously NOT the news I was hoping to hear but I hope I can manage to cope as many others on this site have done so admirably before me.
On a happier note I will be meeting Julie tomorrow - should be VERY emotional!
