Hi and a welcome from me too. We know how you will be feeling at the moment. Many of us have been there and understand. I was diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Been clear for 7 years so far, so I hope that gives you some reassurance. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Best wishes.

Hi rily it's a scary time and trying to get my head around things and preparing myself for treatment and bladder removal, it's nice to hear you got through it and you are cancer free that gives me ls of hope thank you

Hi .  The early days of not knowing and uncertainty can be the worst. I went the radiotherapy route and still have my bladder, but we have many members here who have had removal and will be able to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Best wishes.

Hi Karenn76.

I know how overwhelming this can be. When I was diagnosed my GP said that if he ever got cancer, he would hope it would be bladder cancer.

It's 13 months since I had my bladder out but now I feel so at home with Basil my stoma and life is good

I hope this message makes you feel better. We are here for you.
