Hello, my father had 2 scrapings and the Dr. said they wanted him to start chemo prior to bladder removal, that it would be better to shrink the tumor and lessen chance of spreading during surgery. Plus his scan showed a lymph on his leg was affected.
My father started the chemo the week of Christmas and is on his 3rd week, the keep performing scans and test and the last scan may show travel to the bone....I am scared and worried. I dont know why they just didnt remove the bladder and then do chemo/radiation...I hate cancer!!!
