I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer and am due to start my chemotherapy treatment in a couple of weeks. Having listened to the experts at the hospital, I feel more scared of the side effects then the cancer,  Just wondering what other people felt about the start of their treatment.

My wife and I are trying to be positive as the hospital say that the cancer is very treatable and the prognosis is good.

    My husband and has just finished his 3rd cycle of chemo today for bladder cancer, he will now have another camera in the bladder and if it’s not looking good he will have to have his bladder removed. Don’t know if we can both cope/ live with that,
