Glad to know I'm not alone

Hi Barb,
My doctor advised no really strenuous exercise for a couple of days after mitomycin treatments, but I was back in the gym after that, no problems, apart from frequency -I had to empty my bladder before starting to exercise, and sometimes again about halfway through my training. The mitomycin really is no big deal, once you·ve had your first treatment you·ll wonder what you were worrying about. Hope all goes well for you, All tthe best, Flamenco

Question, I walk 2 miles a day at the fitness center and lift weights, will I be able to do this while I am taking mitomycin treatments? Is it ok to be in large crowds because of germs??

Barb

That's what I had. Mitomycin immediately after my TURB and after I healed, 6 weekly treatments of it. I also had no side effects and my first 3 month check-up done this month was clear. I now graduate to monthly maintenance treatments. Best wishes to you for the procedure and treatments!

Joe,
they told me I will also have chemo started while in surgery but also will do 6-8 wks of chemo after that. Is that the norm??

Barb

I had my surgery on 12/04/07 for removal of a 4 cm TA low grade tumor. I had the chemo placed in the bladder while I was still under during the surgery. I had no side effects from the Chemo.
