I havent been on here lately but I read your diary and wanted to post my experience, I hope you don’t mind.
My granddad earlier in the year (March/April) was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I cant tell you the stage because I don’t know BUT after an initial operation to remove the tumour he had injections directly into his bladder through his penis. He had a course of 8-10 weeks treatment every Friday. Initially the treatment made him sore, fluey, lethargic and nauseous but after a few months he feels much better.
He has recently been given the all clear and has now moved onto maintenance treatment.which he will have for the next 2-3 years.
My granddad is 81, alive and kicking. Do keep faith that this can be treated and doesn’t mean a death sentence.
Love and hugs to you and your family.
