Morning All,
My Dad was diagnosed with high grade non intrusive bladder cancer about 2 years ago. He has had several TURBT followed by BCG courses. Unfortunately yesterday we were given the news that the cancer is now invasive and is in the lymph nodes and has spread to the lung.
It is therefore not cure able so effectively my dad is in pallative care. I knew it sounds silly but we are all in shock as he has been coping well with the treatment and feeling well, so it was unexpected news.
The only treatment he has been offered is Chemo with a brain scan (I assume to see if it has moved here). Has anyone else experience with this? we went through a similar route with my mum who had lung cancer (spread to the brain) and the chemo didn't enhance her quality of life and she was very ill from it . I'm scared we are about to embark on the same journey with my dad.
I suppose I'm wondering if people have had any success with the treatment and if it has led to a better and longer quality of life?
The thought of going through it all again after only 3 years after my mum has really knocked me.
Sorry for doom and gloom
B x
