Any other females here with bladder cancer in their 50's?

Saying hello as a new member. Sometimes it's difficult to find info for females with bladder cancer, and sometimes it would be nice to have others to connect with.
Start BCG again in May. Have been off of it since December. It has been so nice not to have to think about any of that for a while. Starting to get nervous though, with bcg beginning again very soon. Praying the cancer stays away.
I think I'm the youngest one where I'm being treated. Any other females here with bladder cancer in their 50's?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bladder Cancer Support Group.

Hello skind6! I didn't even realize how long it's been since I've been on this page! I ended up getting my left kidney, ureter, and bladder cuff removed last June. I have been doing good since, just dealing with a lot of fatigue. They have found abnormal cells in my urine twice now and increased blood as well. So, I get to stay with being checked every 3 months. My dad's one sister has battled bladder cancer for several years now so definitely affects men and women both. You take care too! 💕

Hi, New to this group, too. Granted you posted this a while ago, I hope you are feeling well.
I was diagnosed last year at 62, just a lit over 50's. Bladder cancer is more prevalant in males, although there is more recent increase in women.
Take care of yourself. 🙂 OOPS!! Accidently posted twice. lol. Apparantly, it takes a bit to post...
