Hi everyone. My name is Cora, and my husband was just diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Needless to say, we are devastated, but trying to be hopeful. He has had 2 TURBS, and now we are waiting to see the oncologist about starting chemotherapy and radiation, to try and preserve the bladder. I would love to hear from people who have been down this road, and their experiences. Thanks so much.
Hi Cora. I’m a newbie, too – the couple of people I’ve been in touch with so far have been great. Informative AND supportive, so I’m sure this will be a big help to you. Mine is not muscle invasive yet. I’ve had two TURBTs as well, & I find out tomorrow what & when the next steps are. Best of everything to you and your husband! Ron.
