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?

Hi,
My name is Irene & my husband had a procedure to
check a 2 cmm tumor for bladder cancer. I talked to
the dr. after the procedure & she says it looked like
cancer, but will have to wait until the pathology report.
Very nervous, I am having trouble waiting for the results

@ijw1950 Hi Irene…my husband is being treated at Yale New Haven …through the Smilow Center. I’m praying that your husband gets the all-clear. My husband is almost done with his treatments and he’ll be getting a radical cystectomy on May 29th. It’s gone very well so far. No side effects with Gemcitabine/Cisplatin. His was in the muscle wall but did not metastasize, thank God. Prayer is very powerful for me…and takes away the anxiety I felt in the beginning of this journey. God bless, Rose

Praying for your husband, thank you for replying.
