I have just been diagnosed and I am waiting for an operation date

Most of the posts on here are about or from men

I would love to hear from women who have had treatment

  • Hi I'm new to group but can you tell me what the symptoms are for bladder cancer  x

  • They vary wildly from person to person. There's lots of good info on the macmillan site and you can ask for a booklet to be posted to you. Welcome to the group by the way.

  • Hi and welcome. In short, I didn’t have any until I bled when I peed.  This lasted two days including clots but then mysteriously disappeared.  I attended to it straight away by going to the urgent care centre.  I saw a consultant two weeks later and my journey started.  I didn’t have any other discernible symptoms at all.  Hope this is useful.

  • Thankyou will look .just that I have cancer of the vulva had chemo last year and now what happens I wet my self every time I stand up .so can't go when I go toilet. x

  • Hi Sansan,Welcome to the group.Are you getting any help with these symptoms ? You can pass blood with bladder cancer.I didn’t pass visible blood but found I couldn’t pass urine properly as the tumour was causing an obstruction.There is lots of support here.Jane 

    • No blood at all sent water sample in there is a infection so there going to send it to lab .thankyou x
  • It’s always worth getting checked for infection so that’s good.Love Jane x

  • I am female! I had TURBT two days ago -- my second. The after effects-- constant need to pee and pain when you do-- are not really too bad, i would call it acute discomfort rather than pain. . Unfortunately I am considered too frail for an operation and anyway, the tumour has grown through the bladder wall so i will be having TURBT regularly until it becomes pointless.  I will be 79 in a couple of weeks -- so I cannot really complain! I do hope you get good news from your biopsy. 

  • Morning jenea
