Bladder Cancer Group: Introduce yourself and connect with others

Posted by Colleen Young, Connect Director @colleenyoung, May 17, 2024

Welcome to the Bladder Cancer support group on Mayo Clinic Connect.

This is a welcoming, safe place where you can meet people living with bladder cancer or caring for someone with bladder cancer. Let’s learn from each other and share stories about living well with cancer, coping with the challenges and offering tips.

Feel free to browse the topics, use the group search to find answers to your questions or start a new discussion.

Pull up a chair. Let’s start with introductions.

What type of bladder cancer were you diagnosed with? What treatments have you had? How are you doing?

I would change to an oncology urologist ASAP. General urologists have good intentions but are usually not specialized in this subject matter obviously. Did you have a CT (urogram)?

If the blue light TURBT finds CIS elsewhere a partial RC is no longer an option.

Hematuria led to dx of high-grade ca; have had 2 TURBTs. Interested in anyone near my age (76) going thru follow-up treatment... what did you have (BCG?) and what were side effects. I'm not interested in prolongation of life if the treatment prevents pleasant daily life🙏
