My dad's been diagnosed with bladder cancer. It was accidental as it came from a scan about prostate cancer as his psa levels are over 30.. but apparently only minor prostate changes and definite bladder cancer atm.

We are right at the beginning of the journey. They've said "small lesion" and he has surgery booked on 8th April but they've not said what type of surgery it is or any info. He had a cystocopy (if im spelling it right!) And haveny heard any results other than its cancer. Had a ct scan today to check spread.

Can I expect to hear the ct results ahead of the op? Why won't they tell us what op it is? 

My dad is having pains in his stomach and currently cant keep urine in as in he is in agony and has to go urgently and it hurts him.

Im so scared. Im an only child and wish I had someone to speak to.
