I am so sorry to welcome you to this site. We are glad you found us though. Right now you are probably going through the "why Me?" stage, and that is normal. For someone as young as you and such an cyclist to boot, this cancer thing probably comes as a shock. But, you may have found the common thread!
I raced bicycles for years and I am a member of this club too! Mike is way off base.... It was the Cycling!
I know the pathetic attempts at humor do not really help you at this time, but aside from smoking, there are a ton of us here who never smoked, or had access to chemicals, and we have(had) bladder cancer.
The common theme you are going to hear here is, second opinion at a bladder cancer hospital. If you have not already, please find Mike's Flow chart for Bladder cancer treatment. It is invaluable for your peace of mind. It clearly traces the path you are on and where you are going. And you ARE Going to Get through this! I know!
My advice is simple, Positive Attitude. Find the best Dr. and Hospital. Get aggressive treatment and Start Living all over again.
This cancer is survivable and you will get on with your life again. You Will be forever changed. That invincible you will come back!
I will say that your life will change. When you have beaten this thing, life will never be so precious, or sweet!
And you WILL beat this thing!
