Hi Harryheart,
A warm welcome to our forum and thank you for sharing your story of living with bladder cancer since 2018. It sounds like they are looking after you rather well and you have had regular check ups and when tumours are found they have been successfully taken out and you have also been offered chemotherapy treatment whenever needed. Hopefully things have been well managed and controlled and you are able to live a normal life at the moment in beautiful Wales.
I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have been living with bladder cancer and that they will share with you how things have been for them in terms of treatment and having regular check ups in hospital, for example.
I also wanted to let you know that we have a nurse helpline you can call if you ever have any questions or wanted to talk to someone and it is a free number you can ring on 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
Best wishes,
