ABC UK Webinar: Nutrition and Exercise for Living Well with Bladder Cancer

This webinar was created in response to requests from bladder cancer patients and was designed for anyone who has recently been diagnosed or is living with bladder cancer.

The session focused on living positively with cancer, offering practical strategies to support your physical wellbeing. We looked at the role of a healthy diet and regular exercise after a diagnosis of bladder cancer, and shared simple ways to integrate these changes into your daily life.

The session was led by the ABC UK Patient Support Team, alongside two experienced Macmillan specialists:

Sophie Schogger, Specialist Macmillan Dietitian, with expertise in supporting patients through treatment and recovery. Sophie provided practical nutrition advice to help manage side effects, maintain strength, and improve quality of life.
Carly Stock, Macmillan Specialist Physiotherapist in oncology rehabilitation. Carly works with individuals to increase physical activity throughout treatment, helping to improve function, manage side effects, and enhance quality of life through movement.

Sophie covered key nutrition topics for people affected by bladder cancer, including maintaining a healthy, balanced diet, understanding multivitamin use, addressed common diet myths, and managing challenges such as unintentional weight loss and changes in bowel habits.

Carly then guides you through the benefits of physical activity. She understands that many people want to be more active but may feel unsure how to begin. Carly shared practical advice to help you get started and explain the positive impact that exercise can have before, during, and after treatment.
