hi there

Can people explain this to me in english or as you would explain to a 10 year old lol? Obviously i know it's very bad news. Does this mean my bladder cancer has spread to my kidneys? or vice versa. 

 

"73 year old female visible haematuria. Renal ultrasound = left kidney shows complex cyst with irregular areas in the bladder. Bloods gfr 80.  FINDINGS 4cm long axis papillary lesion on wall of bladder. Both UOs are visible away from the lesions. Base of lesion 2cm and likely to be TCC lesion

 

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    I am afraid that we are not able to interpret your ultrasound result.  I see that the kidneys are referred to but that does not mean that cancer has necessarily spread there, I am afraid I do not know. You really do need to discuss this with the doctor that ordered it. Hopefully you do have an appointment coming up to do this.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
