My 73 yr old father has had very bad recurring bladder pain, groin pain, blood in urine, mild incontinence, very frequent urination... for the past year or more. Theses are only the symptoms I know of because he isn't telling us what is going on. He is very tired, sleeping a lot, grouchy (that part isn't super unusual)
I know he has been getting exams done, pet scans, x-rays blood work and such, but he says the results are fine. Except he keeps going back for more exams... he has another pet scan in a few weeks.
He is taking meds but won't really say what it's for.
He is a very secretive guy who wouldn't want us to know if he was sick. He would not be getting treatments, no chemo, radiation of serious meds except pain killers.
Am I being paranoid to think it could be bladder cancer? If so what sort of prognosis could we be looking at if someone refuses all treatment options?
Please let me know your thoughts, I am very worried..
