Hi Im Bob ima 49 year old man usually very healthy, have to say i did smoke about 30 a day till i was told i have bladder cancer.
I started in mid Feb this year i passes blood in my urine lots i would have to say, i went within a few days to the doc who sent me to see a uroligist did test looked up inside my bladder nothing! so was happy, untill that is i got a call from his office saying that they found abnormal cells in a urine test i did when i had the cysto done.
I then went to see him and he said i have malignant cells in my urine shedding from somewhere! ok i said now what, he then took me into hospital and under ansetic he looking inside again where he said he found a flat area of carsinoma. He then cut/burned this out. after about 8 weeks i went into hospital and had this looked at again only in 2 days was ok
good new is all looks ok no more to cut/burn out, im going to see the uro on june the 3rd next week to see about BCG not sure if i need it but we will see.
I have to say all this is very scarry isnt it haveing never been ill, so if anyone want to chat to me please feel frre to email me ok middleton98@msn.com
