    First time

    I was diagnosed yesterday with Bladder cancer. Not sure if this is normal but I have no feeling one way or another, as if it was said in passing and it was not about me. I'm not sure what to think or feel. Has this happened to anyone?

    Hi,
    I am sorry your post has not been replied to yet. This thread does not see a lot of action. I am going to move your most to the Kidney and Bladder Cancer thread where other members with this type of cancer may weigh in more.

    I realize our question is more general in nature but in the end you can receive more support from that group in your journey.

    Wishing you all the best,
    Jodie
