I said I had found the early letters and here are a few of the actual words on the one after the first operation:
"His Bladder tumour was a G3P T1 so [sic] so with earlier invasion and I have explained this to him. It was a moderate size so it does represent potential risk to him and I have explained that we will need to do a further Cystoscopy and Biopsy to improve the staging. "
That was a long time ago though and it was interesting coming across the letter again. It brought it back to me and that conversation with my Consultant when she explained the full gravity of this particular diagnosis.
It is amazing how things have progressed from there. The potential risk has diminished but the "potential" is always there. It was explained that there is a significant chance of a recurrence but the longer you stay clear then the risk goes down.
It was quite good to see these and just remind myself of my good fortune.
