  • Hello Bellally,

    I'm sorry to hear about your mum's struggle with bladder cancer.

    Given the issues you describe it may be a good idea to give her consultant a call and ask for suggestions, if you can. The other thing I wanted to mention is that we have some information on our website about managing diet problems in cancer which might be useful to read when you find a moment. 

    Also, if you feel like asking some questions to our team of nurses, they're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this phone 0808 800 4040 which is free of charge if you're calling from whitin the UK.

    Best wishes to you and your mum,
