Hi just got home from hospital, they found a tumour in my bladder it’s small , I have prostate cancer , the consultants told me it could take up to 2 months before operation
I live alone so I would welcome any thoughts

Hi Steve, welcome to what I find to be a brilliant supportive friendly and funny group. You're not alone now you're here. Firstly don't worry too much if you can help it about the delay. I believe they would find a way to deal with it sooner if they were concerned. My husband waited years before finding he had a recurrence of what he was never told first time around was bladder cancer, and the hospital have got it well under control now. Others will be along to add their comments soon.
Best wishes,
Denby
