So you didnt have your bladder removed? My mother has bladder cancer and has a mass on the liver and kidney which are cancer as well. Her oncologist told me about perhaps later on removing her bladder but I am scared. She has done 8 chemotherapies already (Gemcitabine and Cisplatin)

@@michellec2108 I am not totally out of the woods yet.Yes I kept my Bladder and am glad I did as for your mother I would try hard to get a second opinion because if she has cancer in other organs the bladder removal will just make her suffer while battling the other cancer areas.I lost my father to bladder cancer three years ago he had his bladder removed only to find out that it was already spread to his spine he was 82 it was so horrible

I had the same T2 muscle invasive grade two bladder cancer. I just went through 6 chemo treatments and 32 radiation treatments. Chemo was brutal. I have to wait three months before they check my bladder to see if this treatment worked. I hope I can avoid radical bladder removal. I'm 75 yrs old and otherwise in good health.

@@rafebatt2370 I think you will be fine.The Chemo was rough for me too.I did five weeks max dose then three weeks off and the two weeks deadly dose in which I had to sign a waiver.But it worked.My side effects were and still are Loud ringing in in my head and numbness on the bottom of my feet and also a slight brain fog But I still work heavy physical labor as I am very strong.I am glad I kept my Bladder.My cancer was Grade Three Stage two It was quick timing as I was the one who insisted something was wrong as my first three visits to the Urologist was determined to be irritation of the prostate but an MRI changed that diagnosis

Hello from Knoxville. After two days of pissing blood and a 3" clot, I went to UT hospital. I had two double catheters and they took the tumor out but I have a long way to go. I have small cell bladder cancer and it is highly aggressive but the good news is that we caught it early. I am booking many appointments and I know I am in for a fight, my prognosis is not good. Even if your cancer differs, I need the hope you give.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 bladder cancer. 2nd half of 2019. My doctor wanted to give my bladder. I refused and opted to undergo chemo and radiation, instead. The tumor was not found in early 2020. But 4 Months later, I started seeing blood in my urine. My urine culture shows the blood was due to Radiation Cystitis, and not the tumor. But a few Months the later Eventually, the tumor some back. I still opt NOT to remove my bladder. Instead,. I tried alternative medicine, ie., Vitamin C IV, vegetable juicing,. take Kyolic Aged Garlic extract, Frankincense topical medication. Last June 21, 2022 I underwent Cystoscopy,. The results showed that my bladder tumor was gone. As of now, I am continuing old my regimen to prevent the tumor from spreading and coming back.

I'm so glad you are doing okay now Mary Beth. Four years ago I began to have urgency to go to the bathroom. I had scans which picked up nothing. Then I began to pass blood. This was followed by a cystoscopy where they found a tumor. I had many T.U.R.B.T procedures for the next two years, then a partial cystectomy. Then I had BCG, which gave me sepsis twice and I was very ill the 2nd time. After that 14 months of Keytruda and then a few weeks ago a new tumor appeared, which was high grade cancer. I now await a radical cystectomy and I will have to have a stoma. Perhaps because I've been battling this for 4 years, the shock is not as much as when I first was diagnosed. I'm sure I will get through this. My lucky lining is that the cancer has not spread, so it will be gone with the bladder. I urge many to be aware of symptoms, like frequency and go to see a doctor right away.

@UC7S_BmbM17iWutky-uX8eZQ Thank you for asking. The surgery was an eye-opener, much more pain than I'd anticipated. I lost lots of weight and my appetite, but now, three months post surgery, I am feeling great again. Took me a while to get used to the 'pouches', but now that they stay on properly, I can honestly say that there are times when I forget I have a pouch. Anyone having this surgery, just need to hang--in-there, as you will get used to it. I hope you are doing well Mary 🥰
