So, I had a bladder diagnosis almost 2 years ago, I had a rc & was told the cancer had completely gone.
on the 8th of this month I had a scan, they found a sack of fluid & my lymph nodes are enlarged too. They said it could be that the cancer has returned, or it could just be inflammation. Scared is an understatement!!!!
has anyone else had this???
The radiographer is going to look at the scan next Thursday and take it from there.
Hi from France Rachel 72,
It's normal to be anxious after such results. The problem is that the scan cannot tell the difference between inflammation and recurrence. I hope that not only the radiologist, but also your oncologist (or urologist) will look at the images. They have different skills and experience. I also hope that you will be informed quickly and that you have family or close friends to help you through this wait.
