I am about to turn 80 and was diagnosed with high grade bladder cancer about three months ago. Had TURBT initially to remove a 5cm tumor. Just completed my sixth BCG treatment today and have had some side effects starting with the fourth treatment, headaches, body soreness, cough and congestion, but nothing I could not manage. Will have a cystoscopic evaluation in two to three weeks.
After reading through many of the entries at this site I think I have very little to complain about. There are so many folks with problems much more serious than mine. My health is generally good and I am optimistic about my condition. My doc says my prognosis is excellent and I can’t ask for a better opinion. I’ll post again after the evaluation. Fingers and toes crossed.
