Red blood in my urine that was pretty persistent. Drove myself to stop ER and after running blood tests and CT scan, essentially not able to give me a definitive answer but referred me to a urologist. Wasn't able to see him for 6 weeks as he was very booked up. Needless to say, I was quite nervous the whole time. He did determine it was bladder cancer and had two small cancerous tumors removed. Over the course of the next3 months, my bladder was not showing encouraging signs of healing. Last day of 2024 had a 5 incision surgery to reduce the bladder and remove my appendix which was inflammed and laying on on bladder. And during the 4months to this point I had a Foley catheter. Quite an experience but things are looking up after the six bcg treatments. Will be on an bcg maintenance program for 3 years. Praying to maintain cancer free!
