Ureter cancer now spread to bladder

Ureter tumour removed July 2021. Follow up chemotherapy from November 2021 to January 2022.

CAT scan clear. 

Had check up cystoscopy last week and discovered three tumours in bladder.

Consultant planning to shave these off next week.

Very disappointed with current situation as chemotherapy was based on a successful trial.

Wondering what other surprises could show up in different locations.

  •  My husband has the opposite problem He was treated successfully with bcg for bladder cancer and he has been clear for 6 years Following blood appearing in his urine a couple of months ago a tumour was found in his ureter Kidney and ureter  removal  not an option as kidney on tumour free side has low function due to previous  kidney stones Consultant reluctant to do anything  other than monitor and laser recurrence whilst it remains  in ureter but it will at some stage get out and the treatment will be palliative 

    Would you let me know what treatment you have had and the details of the trial

    Good luck with you future bladder treatment

  • Hi Wilbert

    I only have a single functional kidney.

    After surgery to remove tumour my treatment was chemotherapy using gemcitabine and carboplatin over 4 sessions.

    The trial was POUT and you can find details online by downloading article from the Lancet. It's a bit technical but contains interesting survival statistics.

    Hope you will find something useful in it.

  • Thank you so much I'll have a look
