    I thought we might need a welcome post in the Newly Diagnosed Category for ANYONE who may be new here and in need of an introduction.

    [b]Welcome to the bladder cancer support site. This site is filled with people just like you…. Shocked and Scared folks that were just diagnosed with cancer….. Concerned Caregivers, spouses, partners, family or friends who need information….Come to think about it, Just about anyone involved with this disease.

    We are here to help in any way we can. Most of us have been where you are now. All of our experiences have been different and our stories cover the whole gamut of this cancer’s path. There are people who can steer you in the direction of a Dr. or hospital in your area. There are people who can give you a road map of the journey ahead. There are people to hold your hand when you need it. There are also people to kick you in the butt when that is appropriate. We cover the whole spectrum of needs.

    To acclimate yourself to this site. You may want to look at the “Newly Diagnosed” thread first. Look through all of the threads you like and get a feel for the people here, and the topics we cover. You will also get a feel for the Characters on the site. You can also start your own New Thread, and introduce yourself to the group. You can also just quietly sit on the sidelines until you are ready to Jump IN.

    Welcome Welcome Welcome. We are SO Glad you are here! Bladder cancer is a pain! There are Absolutely no ground rules here. Nothing is sacred. We talk about Everything! And I do mean everything! Bathroom talk is Really OK! It’s bladder cancer so bathroom humor is part of the spectrum :laugh: :laugh: This place is open to everything and anything that is on your mind concerning bladder cancer.

    In the words of the Cowardly Lion “Aw shucks, it was nuthin”

    Seriously though; Thank you. First timers usually jump to the newly diagnosed page looking for something to help them.

    We are all in this together
