Bladder cancer
Bladder cancer can spread to other parts of the body. When this happens it is called metastatic or advanced bladder cancer.
The symptoms of metastatic or advanced bladder cancer depend on where the cancer has spread to. They might include weight loss or bone pain.
You might have treatment to help with symptoms and to control the cancer. Treatments include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.
Support is available to help you cope with the emotional, practical and physical issues when you have metastatic bladder cancer.
You might need some care and support at home due to metastatic bladder cancer or its treatment. A lot of practical and emotional support is available to you.
