Husband diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer - has anyone had any of these treatment options?

Hi. My husband has been diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer. We saw the consultant today and he told us that hubby has some options. 1. Bladder removal. 2. Partial removal and part of the bowel taken to make a bladder. 3. Radiology therapy with chemotherapy.  We've returned home and are devastated. Has anyone on here had any of those treatments? Were they successful? We hope that we can get through this.

You can also try searching the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) for other potentially relevant discussions or people to connect with.
