Hi there, I'm Mike, 62 yo, diagnosed with bladder cancer in May this year, on BCG treatment now, wishing well to everyone 

  • Hi Mike and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with bladder cancer earlier this year but I hope all is going well with your BCG treatment.

    Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but in the meantime, if you have any further questions about your diagnosis or treatment, do feel free to get in touch with our nurses in the ask the nurses section of the forum. They're very insightful and will do all that they can to give you the information and answers you may be seeking at this time.

    We're thinking of you Mike and sending you all our support on this journey.
