My husband has been diagnosed with t2 bladder cancer with 50% squamous cancer he has told it will be chemo first and then removal of bladder I’m worried because it’s aggressive is it not better to remove the bladder and then chemo
Hello Cathgra and welcome to this friendly group. The reason for neoadjuvant chemo is to help shrink any tumours and make surgery slightly easier. It also helps to eradicate any rogue cells floating around before they get a chance to develop. I had this chemo for muscle invasive BC before going on to radiotherapy and tests showed it had shrunk the tumour. Lots of experiences of bladder removal here to help with any questions as you and husband go forward. best wishes.
