Cysto today

Thanks,
Yes, I have got intravesical therapy with Mitomycin once a week for eight weeks. The procedure is the same as with BCG therapy. Hold it for two hours and then pee it out. I will continue with maintenance therapy once a month.

Mitomycin is the first choice therapy for low and intermediate risk superficial bladder cancer in Sweden. I had a long discussion with my doctor about having Mitomycin or BCG therapy. Mitomycin was what he recommended.

This was nice to hear, Nicke.

You are lucky that they found it early and that they follow you up closely.

Please let us know how things develops.

All the best to you.

Sincerly,
Knut

Congrats for the tumor free scope. A ray of hope can sure change your attitude. You say Mitomycin is once a month. Infused directly into the bladder? You have to wait, and/or expel it? Is 8 weeks a normal plan?
I did the BCG for 6 weeks. I don't know yours, so just being nosey.

Thank you Chatherine,
In fact this is the first step in the right direction. I am still suffering from the treatment (the last one four weeks ago), but as long as the treatment is working I can stand it.

Thank you for the hug. I have already got one today. On my way out from the hospital I did meet a female friend. She didn´t know about my cancer diagnosis, but we had a long talk about heath issues. And yes, she also gave me a hug. Both hugs felt great!
