Hi I have joined following diagnosis on 30th Dec of aggressive bladder cancer T1, waiting for 2nd op 31st January to test if cancer is actually T2, still can't believe this is me! How do you get your head in the right place? X
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to see that you've recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer but you've come to the right place for support.
I see that you have already found and joined the bladder cancer group and I'm sure if you post there you'll find lots of people who are willing to share their experiences with you and tell you about their methods for coping.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Thank you, I will update my profile. Already not feeling alone x
Hi and a second welcome from me. Just to echo the post by latchbrook above. I am from the bladder group. I see you have joined the group. Come and introduce yourself there. Any cancer diagnosis is scary but many, including bladder cancer can be treated successfully. Many of us have been where you are now and can support you through this. If you look in the group, you will see I started a new thread today entitled "discharged". Hopefully it will give you some encouragement. Best wishes.
Hi
I am in the bladder group and I can honestly say that I am so grateful for the kindness and knowledge I have received
Love Inanna
