Hi there Ceecee, welcome to the forum, but sorry for why you're here. I have been dealing with bladder cancer for the last 3 and a half years now and so far I still have my bladder. I have had the BCG and several cystos, TURBT's etc. and just now waiting for a follow-up apt. since my last TURBT. The nurse told me that the urologist removed multiple tumors from my bladder when I had that last TURBT. I believe he's waiting for the pathologist report from the biopsy and then he will call me in. I have other cancers too, but I won't go into that now. I just wanted to welcome you here. There is a long history of cancer in my family as well, but no one with bladder cancer that I know of. I don't know how old your son is, but its' almost like we need to get used to the idea ouselves before discussing it with others. I think part of that comes from being a parent. We've always tried to protect our kids from worrying about things until we reach a point where we have to tell them. As far as our own emotions, well, I think its' a process that we need time to come to terms with, especially if it turns out to be serious.

Come back on here and let us know how it goes for you, and also to compare notes. Good luck on your op coming up. Take care.
