Use social support : Talking to support groups and tapping into family and social support has been helpful to many of my patients in your shoes. American cancer society can sometimes help guide u in the right direction. It seems like the headaches are brought up by stress. Consult with your primary care doctor for best medication to help manage it.

How can you get bladder cancer if you're constantly urinating?

Dr. Simon Kimmanswered

In other ways.: The development of bladder cancer has little to do with the frequency of urination. It has everything to do with changes to the lining of the bladder, mostly due to exposure to toxins in the urine, such as from cigarette smoke & industrial chemicals. Inherited genetic factors play a role as well. For those that have developed bladder cancer, one of the symptoms can be frequent urination.

It depends: Results depend upon the stage of cancer. It is active for the adjuvant treatment and in metastatic disease.
The side effects can include nausea and diarrhea. Occasionally there can be some blood count issues. The other side effect can be cold related temporary nerve injury that lasts a very short time. There also is a more long term nerve injury.
Most people do tolerate this well. Hope this helps.

Probably not: In japan they showed it could happen, but with 40% peroxide. It's illegal in the usa, here we only get up to 3-5%
no proof here.

May be hard to do...: People try to live and work in conditions that their bodies are able to adapt to, but sometimes that is not possible. A primary care doctor and a dermatologist can help prevent and treat recurrent heat rash (miliaria treatment). Keeping the skin surface intact, healthy, and normal is important. That means not rubbing the skin with rough clothes, or getting industrial chemicals on them.
