Diagnosis

Hi,

My grandad has been diagnosed with G3 PT2 cancer, with pulmonary hepatic metastasis. So from what I’ve googled that means he has primary bladder cancer that is aggressive and has spread to his liver and lungs. Am I correct? I’m hoping someone can give me an idea of what it is like to live with this kind of cancer, and how treatment was for them. He’s been told he’s going to have palliative chemotherapy, we are still waiting for an appointment with the specialist. I’m absolutely heartbroken, I just need an idea of what to expect so I know how to look after him.

thanks

    Hi there, so so sorry to hear your grandad is on his cancer journey... and sorry l can't answer your question .. all l can say, is pack every day with as many memories as you can .. my mum had a heart attack when I was only 35 and never got to tell her I was so proud to have her for my mum .. or even to just have held her hand one more time .. 

    You have the chance to make every day count .. leave nothing unsaid, lots of hugs, l love yous, and a few tears to share too ... you are so blessed to have a wonderful grandad ... l have no memories of a grandad ... I'd have loved to have one like yours ... sending you a big hug .. Chrissie xx

    I know you're looking for information about your grandad's diagnosis so I just wanted to share some information we have on our website about bladder cancer for you to have a look at and to also give you our cancer nurses telephone number as they will be in the best position to answer any medical related questions you may have about it. If you'd like to give them a call their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
