Hello. This is my first post here. Following a month of blood in urine, my husband has had tests (blood tests,CT scan and cystoscopy a couple of days ago). He was told a couple of days ago, that the cystoscopy has shown a solid 3 cm lesion arising from behind the intra ureteric bar extending into the bladder, plus multiple small papillary lesions on left lateral wall, with the appearance of bladder TCC.
He has to have the larger tumour removed (in the next 10 days) and will have a CT scan early next week to check for spread.
This has of course come as a shock (as I appreciate most will feel in this situation). My husband turned 60 a few weeks ago. He was also diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer’s last October.
We cannot have the same in-depth conversations that we once had. I am just trying to get my head around what to expect over the coming weeks (I know that this is probably impossible to say).
I would appreciate any shared experiences from similar situations please. I have to take the lead for us but I am not entirely sure (apart from Google), what to expect.
Thank you x
