Can this be treated without removal of the bladder ?

  • Hello and thank you for posting,

    I am sorry to learn of your situation this must be difficult.

    I don't know if you have had an opportunity to read the links Steph gave in her reply, the main treatments for bladder cancer are surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy (chemoradiotherapy) can be given together instead of surgery to remove the bladder.

    Your specialist is the best person to discuss your treatment options with as they know your situation. As information nurses not involved in your situation we cannot give a medical opinion, if this is something you are looking for we have information on our website about how to get a second opinion .

    The research into low-dose naltrexone as a treatment for cancer is limited and more research is needed particularly in large clinical trials with large numbers of patients before it becomes an approved treatment for cancer.

    I hope this is helpful, please come back to us if you have any further questions.

    Take care
