Hello LunarLou

I'm so sorry to hear that your Mum has recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer. It's understandable that you're feeling worried for her. 

It's good to hear that she has already had some further investigations and that the team are going to operate soon to try and remove the tumour. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for news and there will be some reassurance that the specialists can give you both. 

Our team of nurses will be back in the office from 9am on Friday morning and I wonder if you might find it helpful to give them a call and talk things through with them at some point. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. You can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm (excluding bank holidays). 

I hope that things progress smoothly for your Mum. Keep in touch and let us know how she gets on. 

Best wishes,

Thank you Jenn. I'm just numb at the moment. I can't bring myself to do anything. I don't even want to do Christmas now. She's been bleeding for quite a while and has had previous test at gynae but was given the all clear. I really wish that they had referred her to urology sooner because now, I fear that the cancer has spread elsewhere. We are awaiting CT results from end of last week. I'm dreading what they say to be honest. I'm finding it so hard to think positive. Deep down l, my husband and I knew that they would find cancer, but it still hit us like a brick when we had it confirmed.
