Hello everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

I thought I would open this discussion for us to talk about bladder cancer and its affect on daily life.

How does your bladder cancer diagnosis affect you in the day-to-day? Does it present any particular struggles or difficulties? How do you manage and cope?

@Courtney_J Hi, I'm in remission now, but I guess I can think about how it affected me.

I was lucky in that we caught it early, but before I knew I had some blood in my urine and then the constant "need to go". I at first thought it was a prostate thing because of my age. Again, I was lucky in that I just had the TURBT and BCG, so I just really had the brief recovery from that and I was and still am in remission. I imagine it could have been much worse for me had things been different.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
