Husband diagnosed with bladder cancer: I feel so alone

HI, Sandie! I was just diagnosed with a Papillary Carcinoma with micropapillary features - also a rare version of bladder cancer. It's a club I never thought I'd belong to, yet here I am. Can you talk a bit in general about dealing with rare forms of BC?

Dearest Mayday, Keep your arm and legs inside the vehicle…… it is an “E” ticket ride to be sure.
I experienced the worst and the best in what seemed to be each and every treatment scenario. Celebrating Seven years I am still not sure I believe I won! Faith, family and friends helped but truthfully nothing I read put my mind at ease. I put effort into finding joy or humor daily (losing and depression sinking in) I luckily saw enough medical professionals and asked for help!
My Treatment 30 Radiation, They only took Five minutes. 5 Chemotherapy treatments over tree days so 15 days of chemo.
My complications retaining fluids, sleeping more and more.
Nausea didn’t being until all treatment had ended over two weeks prior. I wasn’t prepared for the chemo and radiation to feel so cumulative! I just felt that now it was over I would get better and the truth was not like that! This too shall pass, and The other side of the coin, The worst and the best of my getting Cancer is I see that glass is half full. I have to walk in faith and I fall all the time! Always available!
