Hi all
Well today was the day that I was told what diagnosis I had. I thought I may not get away lightly but oh boy!
My consultant basically said that I had muscle invasive bladder cancer that has penetrated the fat and is also in my abdominal lymph nodes. No RC, can't be done straight to chemo radiotherapy.
I am now waiting for oncology to decide if I need another TURBT before commencing treatment.
He seemed a little shocked at a 50 yo female, no previous health history to be where we are. I had a scan in November that was clear.
Just had a letter on my app detailing the cancer.
G3 (HG) pT2 TCC bladder cancer.
So, on to the next job. At least we know what we are dealing with.
Any words of wisdom for me?
Thanks again for all of your helpful responses and support
Hi Nananaps . Not the news you were hoping for. Bit of a blow but they will work out a plan going forward for you. Early days yet, but once you see an oncologist you will know what you are heading for. It will take a while to sink in. If its any help, I was T3pG3 in to the fatty outer layer. I went through the chemo/ chemoradiotherapy and tolerated it well. Best wishes.
