High grade Bladder Cancer

My Dad glanced a urine test result on a nurses computer screen during pre assessment for TURBT. It said that high grade cells had been found. He has 2 luminal masses of 2 and 6 cm. We have discovered high grade cells mean this is likely to be aggressive. He is yet to receive his CT scan results. And of course the TURBT is yet to come. At this early stage can anyone give some hope for positive news with the information we have so far?

  • A very warm welcome to the Cancer Chat community Broadie although I'm sorry to hear what your dad saw when he looked at the nurse's computer screen.

    I know it will be difficult, but try not to think too far ahead until the all the results have come back and been looked at properly by your dad's medical team as they will be able to explain what everything means and answer any other questions you may have about the findings.

    We do have some general information about bladder cancer on our website, but if it would help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to provide you with any further information or explanations you are seeking at this time.

    I hope some of our members who have been diagnosed with bladder cancer will share their experiences and advice with you soon, but in the meantime we're sending you and your dad all our support and wishing him all the best with his TURBT when the time comes.

    Kind regards,
