I'm a 58-year-old female who was diagnosed with low-grade noninvasive bladder cancer on June 12, 2018. I was having incontinence problems, so I scheduled an appointment with my urologist. Since I had a complete hysterectomy at 26, I was expecting the doctor to suggest the sling surgery. He did a scope of the bladder that revealed a tumor. To say that I was shocked is an understatement. I had surgery ten days later on June 22nd. I had two tumors removed (TURBT) - the one seen at the time of the scope and another that had satellited next to it. At my post-op appointment, my doctor informed me that my care plan would include the scope every 3 months for the first year, and if another tumor is found, then I will have 6 weeks of BCG treatments. I understand that bladder cancer recurs. My question is this: Did any of you in the forum have low-grade noninvasive cancer that recurred as a higher grade later on? While I am very thankful that my prognosis is good, I am also very anxious and quite frankly scared to death. I have lost family members to cancer (ovarian, lung, brain, colon). My mom is a first generation breast cancer survivor. I know the pain and struggles that cancer causes. I know that I need to "chill". I'm thinking about going to my family physician to ask for medicine to help the anxiety and sleeplessness. Am I being overdramatic?
