Bladder cancer

Hi my name  is Jane.  I'm going to have a chemo infusion soon.  Wondering if anyone has had one and what it was like.....

  • Hi Jane, I had three cycles of chemotherapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer, and found it be a roller coaster ride! Most days I was quite lucky and found that I could exercise and eat as normal. On a couple of occasions I felt a little depressed, but luckily I was able to continue! What I would say helped me was, during my infusion, I actually went through some maths exam papers, which also helped chemo fog prevention. I was able to walk three miles after each session, so once again quite lucky. Not forgetting my wonderful lady wife. (support helps!) Hope you are OK with the infusion.
