Just been diagnosed with high grade muscle invasive bladder cancer and a bit scared of the future. Not sure if I can have treatment as one of my kidneys has been badly affected by the tumour. Just hoping I can have radiotherapy. In limbo at the moment as waiting to hear about that but it’s taking awhile and the waiting is not always easy. Trying to stay positive as don’t feel ill.

  • Enjoy a little bit of normal every day things while you can, get out in the sun and have a little fun while you can. There will be more hospital visits and treatments soon enough.

    We're all travelling a rough road, I know I try and enjoy things while every opportunity becomes available as there's plenty of days I've been stuck feeling rubbish and low and not been able to go out, especially while the sun's out, even if I'm just sitting in a park with a sandwich Sparkling heart

  • We learned to take each day as it comes and not to let 'what ifs' start. No point in worrying - doesn't cure cancer (or anything else). Time enough to worry when you have a concrete fact - and, even then, better not. Use your energy to keep on an even keel and enjoy everything you can.  We take a daily fast walk around the park - up and down the hills, looking at foliage, talking to people we know. Breakfast tastes so much better after that and then we get on with our day.

    All the best,
