  • Welcome to the forum Sue although I'm sorry to readof your diagnosis and for the reason you are posting.

    We do have some general information about chemotherapy for bladder cancer on our website but do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call about this as well. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5 p.m so do give them a ring as they may be able to offer some insight. You may find some information about this on the action bladder cancer uk and fight bladder cancer websites so it may be worth having a look there as well.

    I hope the rest of your chemotherapy goes well Sue and that you don't lose too much more of your hair.

    Kind regards,
