Early Bladder Cancer

hi all,

I had chemo and TURBT for early low bladder cancer in April.

I have a retest in 2 weeks and due to go for a 2 week foreign holiday 3 days later.

I fear it has returned as I know the symtoms, should I try bring the test forward, will I be able to go on holiday?

Your thoughts and experiences are most welcome

Thanks

 

 

 

  • Hello,

    I think you should have the retest as scheduled. If you don't, you will probably worry the entire vacation, at least I know I would.  Besides, the results would not be available right away, anyway, would they? As far as the symptoms returning, I am no doctor but I know I had similar physical feelings after treatment that concerned me.  The oncologist was not concerned and told me my body was recovering and trying to regenerate after the chemo/radiation damage.  Try not to worry too much, enjoy your holiday.
