I am new to the group. My husband has been diagnosed with bladder cancer. He had a major operation to remove bladder and prostate and has a urinary stoma. We have coped with that and we’re told they had removed all the cancer and could commence chemo. Unfortunately before he started chemo he got a kidney infection and has been fitted with nephrostomies and a stent. He has just been told the cancer has returned in his ureters and a suspicious lump in his chest and therefore chemo is out but immunotherapy is possible. He came out of hospital yesterday and is tired. I am finding it difficult to get my head around all of this and can’t seem to find the positivity I had before. I want to cry but don’t want him to see me upset. Anyone else been through these feeling?
Hello BJJ3 and welcome to the group, although sorry to hear your husband's cancer has returned. It is understandable that he would be tired after all the trauma his body has gone through so far. We know that cancer can have a massive impact on loved ones. My family were very supportive when I was going through treatment and I could see the impact it had on them, so I know how you must be feeling. Hopefully when the immunotherapy starts it will give you both something new to focus your energies on. There is always someone here if you just want to talk with people who understand. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
