i was just diagnosised last wk. have both tranistional/small cell bladder cancer, which is not common. only symptom i had were 2 UTI's with some blood in it few months ago. nothing else. have been recomended to have chemo then radical cystectomy. i am so scarred. had to tell teen sons, and daughter. they did not take it well, but wanted me to keep it honest with them. like me the unknown to them how every bad, it even worst. will begin chemo in 4 days. live in US, in the medical meca... northeast... have the world class care.
waiting for some other test results and I am so scared...not for me.. for the unknown and for my children. to see them suffer is the worst of all. i just love them so much. to see my husband hurt and sufferring is the worse then then diagnois of cancer. i am in my 40's don't smoke, drink, or work with any chemicals. no family hx, to say why do i have this?? i don't know.
does anyone else have both these types of bladder cancer? if so what was your outcome? just want to know what to expect.
thank you
