Hi, this is my first time posting.
My dad got diagnosed with bladder cancer, he had an operation to get rid of it but the results were that the cancer has now covered his bladder and is trying to spread.
I know that it doesn’t sound much compared to other people, but he’s my dad and I’m struggling so much to cope with it
Sorry
Hello Queenielou03
A warm welcome to the Macmillan Cancer Support online Community although I am so sorry to find you here. I do appreciate your worries and concern for your dad.
May I suggest you join a couple of other forums where you will find other Community members who are going through the same or similar issues as you and your dad and these are:
Bladder cancer forum and Emotional support forum

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear this. I'm going through something similar with my dad. I don't have any words of wisdom but I hope you get to feel better soon.
Best wishes to your dad :)
