Hi Charly, 

Your poor dad - it sounds rather unpleasant  and I am so sorry to hear that they have found a mass in his bladder as well as having to drain his kidneys which were not functioning properly. It sounds like he has had a rather difficult time with him needing blood transfusions as well. It's normal to be worried about bladder cancer and I can completely understand why you would suspect that but you won't know for sure really what this might be until you have received the results of his biopsies and all his tests. It's hard to resist the temptation to Google but it's best if you can to try and keep well away from Google or it will only make you worry even more without ever having any certainty of clarity. 

It's hard to know really for sure what your dad's diagnosis might be but I just wanted you to know we are thinking of you and keeping everything crossed. I hope that you find out more very soon and that you will in the meantime hear from the experiences of others here on Cancer Chat who have been through something similar or have known cases like this one. Every experience is unique and different but it does help to talk to others who have been in the same boat. 

Waiting for important news like a diagnosis is never easy and I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope during this anxious time. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
