Curious?
When I was diagnosed with BC in 2016 this forum was my lifeline for information and support. It
helped me get through one of the most frightening times in my life. That
was the case for the duration of my TURBTs, Cystos, and my 24 BCG
treatments. I got far more detailed information from this forum than I
did from my Urologists and his team.
Now that I am 6 years post diagnosis and about 3 years post BCG
treatment, I can honestly say that my bladder and my mental health are
doing much better. I still have frequent urination (although much
better) and I don’t think my prostate will ever be the same (that could
be age related – now 72) but I am doing so much better that I am not a
frequent visitor like I was during my treatment period.SO….I notice that there doesn’t seem to be as much participation on
the forum as was the case 5-6 years ago. Could it be that during the
Covid period (seems to have mostly subsided as a big issues these days)
the medical community was pushing a “only critical issues” could be
handled due to healthcare shortages? Has the rate of Bladder Cancer gone
down? New treatments proven more effective?Has anyone else noticed a difference or is it just my imagination?
