My Dad has been diagnosed with bladder cancer

Hi, my dad has been diagnosed with bladder cancer, he’s been told it’s aggressive and had another scan on Thursday to see if it has spread to anywhere else.  We’re now waiting on these results.  My Dad and I have a wonderful relationship and it’s breaking my heart, in private I’ve cried so much and been so angry . Is there anyone who can talk me through what to expect now please, this is all new to me, thank you so much. 

  • Hi Tracey262,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm so sorry to hear of the situation with your dad - this must be incredibly difficult and I hope you're getting on as OK as can be.

    I also hope it's not long for you to wait to find out more and to get any information you need about potential next steps. Hopefully this will help a little in terms of understanding what to expect.

    Our nurses are available if you'd like to talk things through with someone at any point. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    We are always here for support if ever you need it and I hope that the forum can be helpful for you.

    Wishing you all the best,
