Rosie: I am diagnosed with cancer of the Bladder which has spread

Hi 

I am diagnosed with cancer of the Bladder which has spread to some parts of my body and currently on dialysis for kidney failure. 

  • Hello Rosie.

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis of bladder cancer, which has spread to other parts of your body. It sounds like it's been a really difficult time for you, especially with needing dialysis now. 

    I've just replied to another member  who has started this thread about bladder cancer and stage 4 CKD. Hopefully the two of you can connect and offer each other some support and share your experiences. 

    If it would help 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, information and support they can. 

    I hope you can connect with other members here in the Cancer Chat community who are living with bladder cancer. Keep in touch Rosie and let us know how you're getting on. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hello Rosie,

    I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis, which must be a really difficult time.  I too, have been diagnosed with bladder cancer recently for which chemotherapy treatment is to start soon. To say, I’m scared would be putting it mildly.  It’s a lot to deal with and having support at home and from groups like this is really important. Hope your dialysis works well and you can have cancer busting treatments soon.  All the very best. Kerstin
