My partner was diagnosed with bladder cancer a few weeks ago. He’s had 2 procedures to remove tissue, a CT scan and 2 chemo washes of the bladder. He has now been told that it hasn’t spread but he should consider removal of the bladder as they can’t say how bad it is. We can’t understand why they can’t say what grade/stage it is and why such drastic intervention at this stage. My sister had bladder cancer, the tissue was removed and now she just has regular checks so I assumed this is what would happen to my partner. It’s the same hospital team too. He now has another meeting to discuss if he wants to go ahead with removal of the bladder but should he refuse at this stage? We don’t know what all this means.
