Hi everyone
i am new to this group. My dad has just been diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma with plasmacytoid. We also just found out that it has spread to his bowel and are awaiting the MRI on Monday to confirm how it got there (direct growth of Tumour from bladder or traveled there). Not sure what the treatment plan will be yet.
there isn’t much information about on plasmacytoid. It appears to be a rare/unpredictable/aggressive form and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience of this?
whilst we are waiting of final tests etc my focus is on my dad symptoms. He is constantly needing to go to the toilet (more for bowel than bladder at this point), he’s completely bagged up, getting no sleep and last night he was sick after a small bowl of soup. He only has laxido sachets to help and they’re not doing anything. There must be something that can be done to help relieve his symptoms. He’s barely slept in 3 weeks and is barely eating now. He’s only 60 and my mum just doesn’t know what to do to help (also barely slept for the last three weeks). I’m trying to find a way to help and hoping this group could give me some tips and advice/things I could be asking the doctor for to help him.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
