Last week I completed the first of the BCG maintenance treatment and for the next two days, had uncontrolled bladder incontinence - so severe that I lost control a few times and actually urinated on my bathroom floor since I could not reach the toilet sooner and literally had a flood. I ordered rubber panties from Amazon since my second treatment is tomorrow. I am determined to stick with the treatment plan but to be forewarned is to be forearmed so I will utilize those panties. This experience can certainly reduce one's self-esteem but with bladder cancer, we understand it goes with the territory so to speak.

What can I say? None of us have asked for this horrid disease but we have to try our best to endure throughout and remain as emotionally and physically strengthened as we possibly can.

My best wishes for every member.
