I am right here with you undergoing first cancer diagnosis. I’m a 75 year old woman. Similar to you I am diagnosed with high grade urothelial carcinoma and underwent two TURBT surgeries to remove multiple rather large tumors resulting in positive biopsies showing non-invasive status. I am under the care of an excellent medical team. My Dr recommended BCG treatments in the near future. Right now a catheter for a week while bladder is healing. I’m endeavoring to take this challenging experience one day at a time. I refuse to allow myself to be beaten down or wallow in an “Oh me, oh my” mindset. I hope you are on the path to wellness srez. Please let us know how the BCG goes with you. It is bittersweet yet comforting to know others are going through cancer experiences with success. Keep calm and carry on. Embracing a good attitude is the best medicine I have to pass along.

Thank you @summerlibra. This came as quite a surprise but I agree that a positive outlook is the only way to get a handle on things. I’m sorry we both have to go through this but I’m hopeful that we will be on the path to a full recovery in short order. In the meantime let us know when your BCG treatment starts. All the best.
