Just been diagnosed and feeling low

Hi. I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer, have had a c t scan and had my pre opp ready for the big day in 11 days time. For the last couple of days I havent been myself - crying, moody, not sleeping properly and all the different things going through my mind. It is horrible and I really am scared !!!! What can I do ??????

  • I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I think you are quite entitled to all the feelings you’re having - a perfectly natural reaction. I don’t think there’s a magic solution. The good thing is that you are going to have treatment so there is hope. Try to focus on a positive outcome - easy to say I know. I’m waiting on tests and results for endometrial cancer which is causing me sleepless nights etc. If you can, talk to friends and family about your worries - sometimes they’re worse when theybrattle around in your own head.

    good luck. Thinking about you
