Hi I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer in November since then I have had a turbt operation and had tumor removed . Got a call from hospital to return for results earlier then expected only to be told I have to have bladder removed and surrounding organs meaning I will have to have a stoma I must say the whole thought of all this scares me can someone please reassure me it will not be as bad as I am expecting
Hi and welcome to the community at what we know must be a worrying time for you. I am from the Bladder Group . We have many members in the group who have had a radical cystectomy and live normal and active lives with a stoma. Could I suggest you post your concerns in the group by clicking on the highlighted link to get there. You can then start a new discussion in the group where you will get help, advice and support from others who have been through this. If you know what stage and grade you were given, this will help. I'll see you in the group. Best wishes.
