cancer changed my life

I am a 39 yr old women who just found out that I have bladder cancer and that I will have to have my bladder removed. My dr is surprised due to my age and that I am a non-smoker. The good thing is that I do have a great support team with my family and friends. the funny thing is that my boyfriend has been fighting this cancer for the last 2 yrs and is finishing up the last of his treatments. Right now they believe that he is in remission.

The good thing is that I have the best dr in the New England area taking care of me.Now I have to learn to change some of my life style for the next few months.

Not sure how long the recovery will be. Very scared on that aspect.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.
