I recall how shocked I was to see blood in my urine. I was diagnosed with T2. You really learn how to live one day at a time when this happens. I have had 2 operations over the past 5 plus years. I chose not to have chemo or radiation. I merely changed my diet and stop drinking. I don't advise anyone to do what I am doing as we have to do what we believe is best for ourselves. I have had excellent care through the VA. I still monitor my urine and am relieved every time there is no blood present. God speed to you all.

Apparently I’ve had a tumour “the size of a grapefruit” for over a year. Had no idea until 29th Dec 23 where a cystoscope revealed my cancer. Waiting for an appointment to remove my bladder (prostate and testicles, too I believe) and get a stoma. The consultant couldn’t believe I had no symptoms until several weeks before the cystoscopy. First sign of blood and I was on the phone.

I wonder how he is doing? I'm currently being treated for a low grade non invasive bladder cancer. About half way through BCG therapy. Hoping it does the job.

I am about to start some form of chemo following pretty much what you have gone through....I live in France so, despite speaking the language, highly technical vocab such as cancer treatment terminology, can remain a tad story is on
