  • Hii! I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in December just before Christmas and since then so much has happened Rofl the plan was to remove my bladder so I traveled to guys hospital in London and had scans and unfortunately they found it had spread to my lymph nodes. Then had to have nephrostomy bags put into my kidneys both side and their a bloody pain! So I had to start chemo straight away. Then they thought I might of been pregnant so had more scans and delaying chemo, they found nothing and I was able to start chemo. I've been wearing the cold cap has anyone else had this? I hate it!! But if it saves my hair then its worth it. But I also don't mind if my hair falls out I can get a funky purple wig! 
  • I've had blood transfusions, platelets put in, stayed in hospital with a high pulse rate. But throughout I've remained positive I think you have to! Also to add to all of this my fertility is probably going to be affected being a young women in a long term relationship this had been hard but again there's so many options nowadays.
  • My family and friends have been amazing and my boyfriend!! Oh gosh he has been incredible i don't know how I would of coped without him. Im currently on my 3rd cycle of chemo and having a scan soon to see if the cancer is behaving!  Anyway thats my story! Sorry I know you didn't ask for my life story but once I started I couldn't stop typing haha. Another young people out there been diagnosed?
