Hi all
My husband had a TURBT and a biopsy was taken of a large tumour, we went and saw the surgeon two weeks ago and were informed that this was muscle invasive bladder cancer and the CT scan showed there appear to be some anomalies so he has been and had a PET scan now and it's been confirmed the cancer has spread into the lymph nodes but confined to the pelvis area. We are now waiting for a treatment plan we see the consultant on Thursday this week and really what I want to know is this timeline of several weeks normal and as it's spread how quickly can it spread further ?
We are quite positive but cannot find much online about how quick everything happens, any help would be appreciated
Hi Rachybadger and welcome to the group although sorry to hear your husband has bladder cancer. Bladder cancer can be treated successfully and many here have been through it. It is always a worry that things can be spreading, but several weeks wait is fairly normal. Once you see the consultant this week you will have a clearer idea of what they are dealing with and what the plan is. When a treatment plan is in place there is then something positive to focus on. Best wishes.
