Bladder Cancer

[AB]

Hi, new to group. 33 year old male. Recently diagnosed with bladder cancer. Not too happy with my life as it is, so wondering if I let it take me, however not a lot of info on what that will look like. Anyone got any information on the effects of untreated bladder cancer. Non muscle invasive, low grade, in-situ

Hello AB,

Thank you very much for joining our community and for reaching out.

I am very sorry about your diagnosis, and I can notice how this has affected you emotionally.

If you reside in Australia I would like to suggest to call our information and support line on 131120 to find out if any of our services are suitable for you.

You can also call this number to talk to one of our oncologist nurses who can answer any clinical questions you may have.

I am leaving you below some information about bladder cancer which I hope you find helpful.

Warm regards

Susana

Hi AB 

I too have bladder cancer but a little different as female, mine is non muscle invasive too and has been for 18 months, although it is not performing as to  how cancer should, it is high grade T1G3 as I also have ureter cancer, but you should go with BCG I didn’t have any side effects other than on same day , a  bit tired and a a few aches, Panadol was all I needed and when I woke up in the morning I was fine 

My professor has told me my cancer is complex and complicated as with the two and they are presenting different challenges constantly slowly 

so try the treatments and there is some good info from cancer council
