Hi I was diagnosed with bladder cancer last Thursday, I went too the consultation completely convinced that it would be a good outcome, so it was a huge shock, can’t really remember much of the next couple of hours, gradually over the last few days I’ve cone too terms with the situation, I had a CT scan on Friday too see if it’s spread, my problem is the tumour is on a diverticulitis within the bladder, where the muscle lining is thinner, which increases the chances of spread, which I am now convinced it has, I’m now so worried about the results of this next consultation, it’s great too find this community, I wondered if anyone within the community has had any experience with this particular case thank you
