Hey Michelle! Good to know that you are finally gaining ground. It was certainly a long haul for you. Good for you in all that you have accomplished. You can be real proud. As for menopause, I share your sentiments. Even though I didn’t have surgically induced menopause my ovaries were shocked when I had an emergency hysterctomy (uterus and cervix only) in 2002 and that wasn’t fun. Symptoms subsided for 3-4 years and then acted up again after my first TURBT and then the full onset of menopause hit just as I was in full swing with BCG! Lots of fun, I tell you. HOwever the worst is over. That being said I know your situation would be worse coping with severe symptoms on top of the bladder surgery and recovery. I think that you deserve a medal!! LOL!
