Hi everyone

Always good to hear everyone stories and what they are going through, and we all suffer so much anxiety and brains that constantly are in overdrive especially at night

has anyone experienced intravesical hot chemo Mitomycin as this my next option, I do have an appointment with my Professor next week as I’m not sure I will go ahead with it, so little information on it

Hello Jennifer66,

Going through a cancer diagnosis can be so overwhelming, levels of stress and anxiety can just hit the roof if not treated. This community offers a safe space for all to share how they are coping (or not) and we are here to provide information if needed, you can also call our information and support line on 131120 Monday to Friday 9 to 5pm (Australia only).

Hoping one of our members can share their valued personal experience with you.

In the mean time I am sharing a link from Cancer Council with some information about this treatment, hoping it will be of some use.

Hi Susana

thank you for your reply

I have looked through Cancer site, unfortunately cannot find information on Heated Mitomycin C

I had three treatments of intravesical Gemcitanine and Docetaxol last year

the Heated Mitomycin C is the last option for me before the ‘gold standard’ cystectomy I am high grade T1G3 bladder and ureter cancer with a stent

I am well and all good
