- Got diagnosed with stage 1 bladder cancer in 2012 it came back twice then clear from 2015 till now 2025. It has now come back again so another resection and this time they give me mitomycin into bladder as apposed to normal chemo drug as a consequence my bladder is very sore had procedure on 15/10/25 now waiting biopsy results hope it's not progressed. This has now screwed up my retirement plans to live in Portugal with my Portuguese partner at her house in salvada so now not happy I've got to stay here in England.
