Bladder cancer & CKD stage four

Hi

I was diagnosed with bladder cancer and CKD stage four November 2024.

I'm trying to open up to chatting with others who know how I'm feeling, I'm not good at sharing about myself, keeping things private amongst two close friends my son and my parents.

  • Hello Silent-me

    I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with bladder cancer and stage 4 CKD last year. I'm sure that there have been some very difficult points over the last twelve months but I hope that you're being well supported by your friends and family. 

    We've a couple of other members who have posted recently that you might want to try and connect with.  posted this thread about bladder cancer and kidney failure and  has posted this thread about kidney cancer and renal disease. Hopefully you will be able to connect and share your experiences and support. 

    If you'd like to talk with one of our nurses at any point you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support they can. 

    Sending you my best wishes, 
    Jenn
