Early bladder cancer

I have just had the camera and been told I have early stage bladder cancer.  

I am having a pre op meeting this Monday. 

Although I was told its early.  Why do I have a little groin and lower tummy tenderness.  And sliight annoying twinges in my lower back on left hand side. 

The camera was zoomed x16 so it looked larger. But the growth was only small. 

  • Hi there and thank you for your post

    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis, although it is good to hear it has been caught at an early stage.

    I hope your appointment goes well and that you know a little more about your upcoming treatment.

    Early bladder cancer can sometimes cause some pain or discomfort in the back and pelvic region, which could explain your symptoms. However do mention this to your specialist team when you see them just to make them aware.

    I wish you all the best for your surgery but do get back in touch if you need to.

    Take care

    Naomi
