Thanks for your input. I have also experienced most all of those same side effects. I admire you for sticking with this treatment plan for as long as you have.

Maybe it is just me but this has been brutal for me both physically and mentally and I’m only in week 5 of the induction period. I have gone from a very active lifestyle to one that is seemingly consumed and centered around the rest room.

Good luck to you.

Ready for a break.

As I see it, there's not really any other option. I do not want to lose my bladder to aggressive bladder cancer.
It definitely did a number on my mental. It's hard to understand unless you've been through it. I found BCAN very helpful. I also was able to sign up for a mentor to call me. She was so kind and patient. I really enjoyed talking to her. Made me feel not so alone in the process.
