Hi all

was diagnosed with bladder cancer in late November 2024, have had 2no operations, was told before the 2nd operation they needed to make sure the cancer hasn’t / isn’t spreading, had to really press the consultant on how bad it was and finally told its grade 3 cancer

going for the results tomorrow afternoon, hoping for the best result but terrified it will be bad news

 how do I ask how bad it is and get a truthful response

    Hi Jenn

    thanks for the response 

    Confirmed there’s no residual cancer and it’s non -invasive, which is the best news we hoped for, will be on a course of BCG for 12 months starting in the next few weeks once treatment plan is sorted 

    was introduced to a specialist cancer nurse who was very helpful and reassuring, 

    kind regards
