What should I expect from bladder cancer chemotherapy treatment?
Community Member
6 hours agoI was diagnosed, but I haven't been told the stage or grade yet. I was told the probable treatment would be chemo, then bladder removal. I have an appointment tomorrow with one of my urologists, and then an appointment with oncologist on the 15th. I had low grade low stage breast cancer 13 years ago, radiation no chemo. I'm nervous about how my body is going to react to the chemotherapy. I know no one goes through this the same way, but I'd really appreciate any tips or ideas for what I might be in store for.

Many community members find it helpful to prepare by staying hydrated, having comfortable clothes ready, and asking their oncologist about specific side effects to expect with their particular treatment plan. Your upcoming appointments will provide valuable information about your specific situation, and this community is here to share experiences and support as you navigate this journey.
