We are a support for bladder cancer patients & their carer’s partners. The group was set up in conjunction with the Specialist Bladder Cancer (SBCN) Nurses at RBH in October 2012. We meet monthly on 4th Tuesday from 2pm until 3.30pm at St Andrews Church next to RBH. We have a speaker from the medical world most months. We currently have 49 members, male & female. We offer refreshments & support for members who have experienced Bladder Cancer & are receiving treatment or are awaiting surgery. This is a vital part of their recovery. There are many stages of BC & indeed treatments. So members will usually meet up with someone who has experienced similar treatments. This gives members the opportunity to hear other peoples journeys. We also offer telephone support for members who may be unsure or fearful. We do not offer medical advice. A SBCN attends every month who can assist with medical advice.
