From when you are first told that you have bladder cancer, and throughout your own treatment journey, you will probably have questions - about your cancer, areas of your treatment that you would like further information about or how your bladder cancer might affect your daily life. It can often be difficult to think of what you want to ask when you are at a hospital appointment, and may be feeling unwell or anxious. Also, it's sometimes not easy to have to understand about your own medical condition at first and any treatment options available.
It can be helpful to think about what questions you have or might want to ask before you go to any appointments and write them down (or print off this page) and take them with you. You might also want to have someone with you at the appointments to help with these questions or to make notes of the answers. Don't be afraid to ask your doctor, nurse or member of your care team any questions you have, or to ask them again if you weren't sure of the answer.
The following list of questions may be helpful as a starting point for conversations with your doctor, cancer nurse or other members of the team, or as an addition to information your doctor or nurse may give you. Not all of these questions may be relevant to your own situation, but we hope they help.
