Hi my partner has advanced bladder cancer which has metastasis lymph nodes in his pelvic and adrenal glands , why have they referred him to the MacMillan nurses at a hospital nearer to our home
Welcome to the forum Lingu, although I'm sorry to hear that your partner has advanced bladder cancer. This must be a very difficult time for you both.
Unfortunately no-one here can really answer that question, only your partner's medical team can, so if you have your partner's permission it may be worth getting in touch with them to ask about this and anything else that you are worried about at this time.
I hope you receive some support and advice from our members who have supported others on their cancer journeys soon, but if you would like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
We're sending you all our support Lingu, and hope you're able to get some answers soon.
Just went for latest scan results and there’s two new growths , but very very tiny, I gather this means it’s spread more, how long is it before the two new growths start getting bigger
Went for latest scan and there’s two new growths but very very tiny, how long before they start getting bigger. Also this time there was a McMillan nurse I the room with us. Is it near the end part now ?
Again, it's a little difficult to answer this. Hopefully you will have an opportunity to talk to your partner's doctor soon, as they will be best placed to advise.
As Steph mentioned, you may find it helpful to talk things through with our nurses. You can do this either by posting in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, or by calling freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.
