Welcome to the group xx I hope there will be someone on here who has advice for you as every bit helps xx you are very positive and that can only be a bonus when we find ourselves in a situation we never ever expected xx I am 65 and found out I had bladder cancer Dec 14th I really didn't expect to be told that but as time goes on you gradually accept it and change your mindset I find the waiting for results and treatments the most difficult times but like lots on here you learn to live with the waiting and take one day at at a time .. good luck for the future and keep your positive attitude take care xx
Hi Elle23 and welcome to the group.
Although bladder cancer does seem to affect more older people we do see younger people in this group. You’ve been through a lot since you were diagnosed but it’s good that the treatment is progressing quickly. The support of family and friends is vital and you will find everyone here on this group very supportive. Feel free to post anytime, even if you just want to let off steam.
Wishing you all the best with your treatment.

PS love the idea of a funky purple wig!
Thank you for the warm welcome. Sorry to hear your diagnoses. Yes I agree the waiting around is the worse part. I think taking it day by day is definitely the best way I suffer from anxiety and I know if rgubk to far into the future it will send me mad. Thank you and good luck with your treatment x
