Chemo drug CYCLOPHOSPHAMINE and bladder cancer

Hi folks, I'm back to share my current experience. I have bladder cancer. The tumour is being removed on Wednesday. 
There's a list of potential causes. Apart from "old age", the only other one that fits me is having had cyclophosphamide; I had eight doses of it over 20 weeks during chemo after my mastectomy in 2018. 
Histology report will take two weeks. I'll be nail-biting of course, waiting to see if I need further treatment.
Concerned of course that it might be a secondary from the breast cancer.
The urologist is also going to refer me for a full-abdomen CT scan after my recovery. That will be welcome, to see if there's anything else.
  • Hi @Flaneuse
    So sorry to hear this news - sending virtual hugs.🌺
  • So sorry to hear this news, @Flaneuse xx  Wishing you all the best for your surgery and for good results and recovery xx. Take care xx
  • Hi @Flaneuse, I am so upset to hear that this has happened to you, especially after all you have been through.  One never knows where the beast will show its ugly head over time.  I hope all goes well for you and that things are not as bad as we all think at the time and that no further treatment is required.  The mind is a powerful thing but not always kind to ourselves.  Thinking of you.  💖
  • @Flaneuse Sorry to see you need to be back here but lovely to hear from you again. I hope the surgery goes well and that is the end of it. Sending massive hugs
  • Sorry to hear this @Flaneuse , it is awful what some treatments can do further down the track.  I had AC also and Paclitaxel, so I can understand your angst with this latest diagnosis.  Take care and keep connecting here. xx
