Hi, I posted a over a week ago: Next steps/timescales?
Here is a little update:
The Consultant has confirmed my Husbands urachal remnant has a tumour with Perivesical fat stranding, which is located at the top of the bladder dome outside of the bladder.
He also has cancer inside the bladder at the top too, which is the mass my Husband saw on camera that looked like coral.
They also said that my Husband’s bowel is badly involved. The bowel is inflammed too, and signs of divertitilcular disease and loops of the bowel have attached itself to the bladder in that area too.
They now need to confirm if this is down to bowel cancer that's invaded the bladder (which they believe it could be as the DNA make up of urachal remnant cancer is normally the same as colon cancer.) or if its a seperate issues like eroded divertitilcular and not bowel cancer.
They have referred him to colorectal for the bowel to be investigated. That apt is in a few weeks and they have marked it as priority.
Also said a biopsy will be needed to confirm which is the primary, bowel or bladder cancer... they will work with both urology and colorectal dept to decide next steps.
So still more waiting...

Hi MrsWife . Your husband does seem to have a lot going on and I can understand the anxiety of not knowing. I hope they come up with some answers and have a plan going forward. Best wishes.
