newly diagnosed, bladder cancer, day surgery on Friday - petrified - what if it has spread and is even now taking over? Want to stay positive and not upset the family, but its hard at 3am in the morning, lying awake worrying.  Any suggestions?

  • Hi Swansong,

    The wee small hours are an awful time for worrying at the best of times. I wish I could offer some pearls of wisdom but the waiting is the worst part. Try to keep busy to keep your mind off things. 

    Logically, we know that a few days won't make any real difference in how far the cancer has spread but none of us can help worrying. 

    Good luck for Friday

    Dave
