Hi. My husband has been diagnosed with bladder cancer. We're seeing a specialist on Thursday 4th and hopefully we'll be told how to proceed. Hubby had a c.t. scan 3 weeks ago and a tumour was seen in his bladder. He's getting pelvic pain every day now and he's trying to control it with paracetamol. I'm trying my best to look on the bright side and keep his spirits up, but I'm scared and I have no one to talk to. Our daughter isn't in the best of health either and although I've mentioned hubby's problem, I've not told her everything as she has anxiety and I fear it'll make her worse. Thank you for letting me be part of this forum. Sorry this is so long.
His timeliness is this : August 11th he had what was thought to be a U.T.I. saw Dr. Given antibiotics for 1 week. One week later, no change so given 3 weeks antibiotics.
