After RC Cancer Has Spread to Bones and Lungs

14 years 10 months ago #26227 by Blnmakerr
I am six weeks post-op from having my bladder and prostate removed. Yesterday I had a followup CAT scan and it showed the cancer has now spread to the bone in my back and my lungs. Prior to surgery (late March) the CAT scan did NOT show the cancer had spread. I just can't believe the cancer grew that quickly, but obviously it has...

My doctor is telling me that Chemo and or radiation probably will NOT do any good in stopping the cancer. He is telling me that I may have one year + left.

Any thought on what I should do? I am extremely upset, and the news yesterday took us by surprise...
