With Splindle Cell Bladder Cancer Stage 3 is there any medication that will assist with increasing appetite?

  1. hi. Sorry I am not medically trained and not familiar with this his type of bladder cancer. Could you speak to her medical team and ask for assistance for a dietician? Hopefully you can get the support you both need. Laura, Moderator, BladderCancer.net

    1. @brownmonica34845 - I am not familiar with this form of bladder cancer I am not a medical professional but found that personally, medications that I was given suppressed my appetite. I found that for a while I would have to eat small meals more often during the day and eventually my appetite returned. I suggest discussing this with your medical team and hope that you are able to find a solution. Keep us posted on how you are doing. My best Linda Urbanski (moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)

  2. I am not a medical professional, just a geeky caregiver. I am not familiar with spindle cell bladder cancer. From what little I understand of it, I would imagine treatment for appetite would be similar to many other cancers. What are you doing currently? I hope you find relief soon!
