    Welcome Robin do the BCC discussion forum. After you find out your have tumors in your bladder….. shock, fear and despair set in quickly. The fear of the unknown can paralyze you. When I first found out it took a couple of months before the fear started to subside. But it does get better for sure. Your feelings are absolutely normal. Take one day at a time and once your get your TURBT and learn more about your DX and treatment plan things do become clearer….at least it did for me. This disease is highly treatable if caught early. Outcomes are good. We are here to support you all the way. Please keep us abreast of the results of your surgery and next steps….. hang in there!

    Hi Ruth. Low grade non-invasive is the best diagnosis one can hope for if you have been inflicted with BCC. Not happy you are here….but happy you have discovered it and it is highly treatable. You like many of use will be in a long term relationship with your URO. Please make sure you go to all of your cysto’s. Welcome to the BCC family.

    Welcome to BCC WayPat. Mine was also caught early and I am three years cancer free after 18 BGC treatments. Quite a ride for you over a short period of time. Glad to see that they got everything and you are coping well with your new normal….a great attitude which goes a long way in fighting and beating this disease.

    December 18th I am up for a six month CT Scan to monitor pulmonary nodules and a Cysto December 23rd. Just past my second year anniversary NED after the removal of Stage 1 HG …..completed 18 BCG treatments. Both of my URO’s (one at PMH and the other at Lakeridge in Oshawa) have advised me to stop any further BCG treatments due to the severe side effects including inflammation and damage to my bladder lining. Next BCG was scheduled for January. Best to everyone this month undergoing procedures, tests and treatment. RCS
