Stories from those affected by bladder cancer

Amuz is seen sat on an armchair. He is looking away from the camera, smiling, and is holding a mug in his hands.

Amuz

'One of the reasons I never talked about my issue was because I felt I had no right to feel upset or traumatised after being given the all clear. Now I know that this isn't true. Cancer affects us all; Whether you have cancer, had cancer, or are a family member/friend who acts as a support network - we all go through a variety of stress and mixed feelings at these times. It's important for us all to pull together and support each other.'

'Since my initial diagnosis I have continued monitoring and treatment.'

'We make sure we pack as much fun as possible into the times between my treatments and checks. We're open and honest with my little boy about mummy's hospital trips, he knows it's just something that happens sometimes. Living with cancer isn't always easy but I love the life we have created around it.'
