Hi everyone I have just been diagnosed with bladder cancer, stage 3 level 2, and about to start chemotherapy. Listening

to the consultant and his staff I find I am more worried about the side affects of the treatment then the chemotherapy.

I was just wondering what fears and emotions were like for others at this stage of the process.

Many thanks for any replies

Wish you all the best for your treatment. Just to give everyone some hope, my partner was put in to partial remission yesterday, the last super strength dose of chemotherapy has killed the last little bit of it off. I know we’re far from out of the woods yet but it’s a step in the right direction.

best of luck to everyone undergoing treatment, hang in there!

HI,

My own chemo treatment ( two cycles of 3 sessions) didn;t have any side effects for me ---- absolutely none ! However - it didn't make a h'aporth of difference, so surgery was the only option - that worked !

Perhaps side effects may indicate that it is working ?
