It's taken me a bit of time to sit down and write. Sorry for the delay.
I'm once again a cancer patient. Surgery determined that the cancer is localized to my bladder, Thank God. CIS again. So we begin BCG treatment
one week from today for the usual six weeks, followed by an additional TURBT. Dr. wants to be more aggressive in that a peak a poke found nothing "unusual last few times.
It was hard enough getting my head around this the first time. Now, I'm just numb. It isn't that I'm hearing a negative prognosis from my medical team, it's more that I just can't believe I'm right where I was this time last year. Of course, my mind takes over at times and sleep doesn't come easily if at all.
So prayers and positive vibes would so much be appreciated.
Thanks for reading my vent and God Bless.
