Superficial bladder cancer recurrence

Offline 1905 10 months ago

Hi, Im a 55 year old female and I have a superficial bladder cancer and just had a second operation to remove a recurrence 4 months after the initial TURBT in June 2023.

I've been put on a course of 6 weekly chemo washes and I'm feeling anxious about the side effects. Has anyone had these washes? If so, can you give me some tips on how to best pee the wash out and clean yourself to keep any side effects to a minimum?

Thank you c

Hi 1905,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you are getting on OK with the treatment currently.

Hopefully you'll get some more replies here soon, particularly from any others with similar experience to share. You are also welcome to speak to our nurses if you'd like to talk things through with them - either by posting in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, or by calling freephone 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

If you experience any issues with side effects, do of course also chat to your doctor about this.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
