Bladder & urethra cancer

My husband diagnosed 4th August with bladder & urethra cancer.had operation to remove 5th September. He is still in pain and swelling of the side the tumours were remove now he has a water infection. Still awaiting results.he won't go out of the house he constantly needs the loo.

  • I'm really sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis and that he's been having a rather difficult time since his surgery last month.

    I'm not sure from your post if his cancer team are aware of the pain he's experiencing but if not, do be sure to let them know so they can make this more manageable for him, especially whilst he's contending with a water infection.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been on this journey will offer their support and advice to you soon but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable and will do all they can to help you and your husband at this time.

    I really do hope things start to improve for your husband soon and that it won't be too much longer until his results come through.

    Kind regards,
