Hi

Just received results fom biopsy of tumour removed from bladder. Was not expecting to be told that i had T1 cell grade 3 and also shows sarcomatoid change which is an aggresive cancer with high recurrence.  Going to have to decide between bladder removal or Turbt and BCG, appreciate this is a rare cancer but would be interested if anyone else has had similar disease and had to choosexbetween the two treatments

  • Hi and welcome to the community, although sorry to hear the reason you find yourself here. I am from the bladder group . There are many members of the group who have had a radical cystectomy (removal) and live normal lives. Rather than me going in to detail here, could I suggest you post your concerns in the group, where there is a wide variety of experiences. Click the link to get to the group, join and then start a new discussion. You will get more specific responses than in this general group. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.
