After treatment
i am suffering bladder cancer and upper urinary tract cancer.
After five operations including the fitting of a ureter stent, my surgeon contacted me to say she thinks that she has zapped the tumours. Apparently they were high grade but non invasive.
She has ordered immunotherapy sometime in in the near future.
I and my wife feel so relieved. I thought it right to let you know.

Hi Derby74,I’ve just read your post in the ask a nurse section.I used to get a blizzard of white bits that looked like snow in the bladder.Mine were scales that had covered the bladder after chronic inflammation and infection.Close up they looked like the inside of a kettle that needed de scaling.It’s possible you may have the same thing though a biopsy would be needed to confirm it.Best wishes Jane
