Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with grade 3 bladder cancer and given 2 option RC or radiotherapy but the tumouris pressing on my tube up to my kidneys so having chemo first to shink tumor, they have said if tumour in my tube then radiotherapy out of question.
Its scary and I am worried about the surgery and stoma bag any advice? From someone thats been through this.
I am 63 years old with young grandkids, so would like to see them grow up a little bit.

Hello and welcome to the community and our friendly group, although sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I was also 63 when I was diagnosed. I am now 70, so hopefully that will give you some reassurance. We will all understand the thoughts you are having at the moment, but bladder cancer can be treated successfully. I went the radiotherapy route and will be able to help with any questions if you go that way. We have many members here living successfully with a stoma and should be along to help with any questions or concerns regarding that. Best wishes.
