Low grade non invasive bladder cancer
Hello,
I am 23 years old and was just diagnosed with low grade non invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma with a focal inverted growth pattern.
I am so confused and scared. My doctor said that since it started off superficial that it should not turn into invasive. Does that sound true to anyone? I’ve read that it can turn…. I don’t know.
I am trying to be as proactive as anyone can be about cancer, I’m looking up diets and supplements that are known to help. I’ve got turmeric and lemon so far being extremely benificial. Anyone have any suggestions?
I do have a question about adderall. I took it a couple years ago for about 6 months and then I lost my insurance. I was just recently put back on it then a few weeks went by and I was having symptoms. So now here I am diagnosed with bladder cancer. Do you think the adderall had anything to do with the cancer? Should I stop taking it?
Also I am having pain and cramping from the TURBT procedure still. It’s was 2 weeks ago today and I still feel pain from where it was removed. The doctor said I should be almost completely healed by now. Do you think there is something going on? An infection or something?
All I know is that I’m scared and I am still not sure how to feel. I don’t really have anyone to talk to because I am not telling my parents. Currently my mom is in stage 4 renal failure and I know that this will do nothing but stress her out. I don’t want to stress anyone out. My boyfriend knows and he is more than supportive. But he didn’t sign up for this. No he has never said anything like that, but I am the one thinking it. I am 23 and was thinking about marriage and having children… Not having to worry about cancer. I am not trying to say ‘why me’ cause I know there are so many people out there that have it much worse.
If anyone can give me some advise I would be so greatful.
Thank you
Sarah
