Hi everyone, I’m new to the group. My dad is 81 and has muscle invasive bladder cancer. Diagnosed in March 2025 with TURBT soon after. No symptoms until March this year - passing blood through urine. Second TURBT in April this year but symptoms only stopped for 4 weeks. Now he has a permanent catheter and the bleeding continues. He may have the option of bladder removal but he’s worried about living with a stoma and he is at risk of a double stoma as he had radiotherapy for colon cancer in 2009 so everything may have ‘fused together’. I’d love to hear from anyone going through anything similar. Thanks so much for reading.
