Hi I'm new to this but looks a good site for support
My mum has been diagnosed with bladder cancer today but has not yet been told the extent of her condition, this will be on the 22nd of this month. She's suffered with bladder infections all her life but now has come to the point where recently she's noticed symptoms of bladder cancer which spoken early has now been confirmed. She had a biopsy, CT and MRI scans last year but was told everything was ok and normal, it was just her bladder wall has thickened and has an intense infection. Unfortunately that wasn't the case because this year she's got cancer. My main point is how they missed it last year?
They have now removed the tumor and told her the cancer type is called (urothelial) carcino?
She's got go for an MRI scan next week to see if it's spread . She's had a CT scan and said it's within the bladder buy Want make certian that it hasn't spread else where.
I'm feeling like she's my only family and don't know what I'd do without her .
Thanks
