Emotional rollercoaster

Hi. My husband has bladder cancer. We have a consultation on Friday with his consultant to see how to proceed. As we've talked it over together, we've decided that bladder removal is best. So far, we've coped with everything. But I'm feeling wiped out and angry more than upset. He had to have turbt 3 weeks ago and that's how we found out that the tumour was larger than expected. Hubby is upset, naturally, and has been fairly emotional. I'd like to know how other people cope with daily life whilst this is going on. I'm trying to keep everything as normal as possible - we both are retired - but it's stressful. I find that little things make me angry. Hubby tries to keep his emotions in check, but today he was upset.

  • Hello Clbell

    I noticed from your post that you're due to see your husband's Consultant today. I do hope that they are able to give you some advice and support to help you both come to terms with what has happened and how you now move forwards. 

    I also wanted to let you know that a new member  also posted this this week following her partner having their bladder removed. You can read the post that she made here. It may be that the two of you are able to link up and offer each other some support. 

    Do let us know how you get on today Clbell. We're thinking of you both. 

    Best wishes,
