Welcome to the site! Hope we can help answer your questions.

Mark gave you an excellent reference for an overview.
Just to summarize, transitional cells are the cells that line the bladder, and the most common place for bladder cancer to form. The other types, squamous cell and adenocarcinoma, are quite rare.

Can you tell us what your diagnosis is? What treatments have you received? Sometimes the treatments can lead to fatigue.

There are many people who have "been there, done that" on this Forum and who can give you the benefit of their experiences.

Best of luck to you
