Hi – Another Newbie
Hi
My name is Paul, I am 47 years of age (male obviously) and I live in the UK in beautiful Warwickshire. On 10th Feb this year I had blood in my urine and just about a month later I was diagnosed with BC. They operated really fast (the next day) and removed the tumour (or is that tumor ;) ) – that was three weeks ago – results from hystology – T1 / G2 (could be worse??). I am due to start Chemo next week (6 weeks of Mitomycin)
Q’s
– I feel so tired all the time – I did before I was diagnosed, but now a real “hitting a brick wall” kind of tired ~ is this usual as my consultant seems very dismissive and says I should be fit to return to work?
– Not sure what to expect with the Chemo (Intravesical Mitomycin ) ~ any experiences or tips anyone wants to share?I am beginning to realise just how common this is and how serious. I am keeping positive and my faith has helped A LOT. What will be will be and I am in God’s hands.
Would love to hear from anyone with similar experiences (or not)
Paul
:)
