Good morning,
I was diagnosed with Chronic bladder wall thickening. I have appointment with urologist next Wednesday but I’m so scared at this point as from what I’ve read it’s leading to cancer. Please feel free to share your stories and journeys.
Andxiously looking for support.

Hi Mel and welcome to the Online Community but sorry to see you joining us and also sorry to hear about your ongoing investigations.
A suspected cancer diagnosis like this can be very challenging but you will find talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer treatment journey (my one is completely different) will help you navigate this difficult time.
The New to Community is like the Community Reception area and as there are many cancer types and experiences so likewise the Community has many support groups so can I recommend you start of by joining our supportive Bladder cancer group as this will be a good place for you to connect with other folks who may be on the same cancer treatment support pathway.
