Im so scared

All cancers if untreated have the potential to be a life threat but for most people bladder cancer is treatable. Dont panic until you know the actual results. And normally bladder cancer is slow growing so thats another reason not to panic, unecessary fear is your worst enemy good luck.

Thank you for this im the worst with health anxiety as it it  

Appreciate your reply though xx

Hi and welcome to the forum. The folk on here have a wealth of experience and knowledge to help you. I am so sorry to hear about your dad, of course its a real shock for you , and you are naturally worried. Hopefully your dad will know what the treatment plan is very soon . please dont hesitate to reach out and get support from all on here. They are great people who have helped me through since my diagnosis 3 years ago. I am fine and doing very well btw. You are not alone , take care x

A cancer diagnosis is always scary, but bladder cancer is very treatable. Has your dad had an op to remove the tumour yet (the op is a day procedure called TURBT)? We're not experts, but if the test results have stage (T) and grade (G), there will probably be someone here who started with the same diagnosis. 

The hospital will undoubtedly do other tests (eg CT scan) as routine, to give them a full picture. Unfortunately smoking is a risk factor for many conditions, but simply getting older is a strong factor too. Of course you are concerned, but try not to get over worried about what might be. The medics will come up with a plan and then you will feel a bit more confident about the way forward.
