Another hospital appointment for mum today to talk about her treatment plan. Found out that in fact the cancer had started to grow into the first layer of muscle surrounding the bladder. To try to stop this developing further mum will hopefully be have a BCG bladder wash (same as the vaccine we all had at school) once a week for 6 weeks. I say hopefully because they need to check out that the TB she had when she was 5 and the steroids she's on now won't stop this form of treatment from working or won't cause any more serious side effects. The treatment plan as it stands sounds ok, no major side effects, maybe tiredness or flu like symptoms, but nothing more and if it stops the cancer coming back we all welcome the treatment.
Got a few extra pics to add, but I'm on my iPod touch at present, will add at a later date.
