  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

    Would having treatment make you more open to COVID is a good question and one for your medical team. I was over 4 years post my blood cancer treatment and in remission and I was told I was still at risk so had to shield.

    A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.

    The Community has various cancer specific support groups and I see you have joined our Bladder cancer group, this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.

    Follow the link I've created above then you can introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on your device) you can also join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'. 

    The Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information. The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here for more information.

    You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    Our Online Information and Support Section  is a good place to find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.

    All the very best.
