The latest path report shows that the tumour is muscle invasive. Since my mom is still very reluctant to RC, I researched more and read some articles in North America and Europe and it seems some more conservative approaches (RT + chemo, that is) have quite high an successful rate comparable to RT.
We had our family doctor refer us to the specialist recommended by Jack the next day we got the report.
We went to see the urologist Thursday and told him about this and after talking about RT+chemo without RC for a while, quite unexpectedly, he was going to refer my mom to another specialist in another hospital. He said we can double book and just see whichever specialist comes back to us first!! My dad said my mom is growing grumpy about the whole thing but I am glad things are progressing. Thank you all!
