Hi my name is Robert I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer. I am 67 yrs old and live on my own. I am hoping to reach out to people I can reach out to especially when at night I can be in a lot of pain there must be others out there in the same position.
Hi and welcome to the group. Sorry to hear of your diagnosis, but you should get lots of support and help here. We know how a cancer diagnosis can knock you for six, but be aware, bladder cancer can be treated successfully one way or another, and there are many of us here who have been there. Can I ask where are you up to as regards any treatment, if any?. Best wishes.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
