bladder cancer

Hi and welcome to the community. I am from the bladder cancer group . Firstly, bladder removal is not the only option, there are alternatives. Rather than go in to details here, could I invite you to join us in the bladder group where you will get a better response. If you click on the above link to get to the group, you can then start a new discussion there with your question. There are many of us there with a wide variety of experiences and will be able to answer your concerns. Best wishes.

Hi Stan. We know that long term contact with chemicals is a contributing factor to bladder cancer. If you click on this link Bladder Group . It will take you to the group. Then start anew discussion with your questions. We have several members who have had bladder removal and will be able to share their experiences, but as I said, this is not the only option. I had radiotherapy and currently clear. Best wishes.
