It has been 4 weeks since initially diagnosed with bladder cancer. Thursday the results of the biopsy came back and I have high grade CIS cancer of the bladder. That God for kidney stones since that was the condition that got me to go to the urologists. It appears early stage. I start BCG treatments next week and honestly, I am scared, confused yet trying to keep a positive attitude. I have no idea what I am in for as to side effects of treatment. As for long term, I know I will be OK. I also know my lifestyle is about to change. I know there will be ups and downs but I anticipate all the changes being for the best. See I always thought work was the #1 thing in life. I needed to focus to support my family. In doing so I let myself go. No more. I must focus on myself to ensure I get better. Never posted any type of journal entry before but thought it was time to start expressing my thoughts. Hopefully others can provide me with any advice, words, or anything that will help me in my new journey.
