Bladder Cancer? Anyone else Dealing With It?

[jumperconway 0]

I found out 3 weeks ago about it and had my first treatment Tuesday after my vacation. Anyone else involved?

[ianmdrennan 2]

Sorry to hear that man. Was it caught early, and is the outlook looking good?

As Ian said, was it caught early? What is the treatment? Chemo-radiation?

Have been involved, not because it happened to me, but to my father, and a couple of close friends.

Hope you are on your way to defeat the sucker.

It is a rough road you are on but I am sure if you keep your spirits up, you can pull through this.
I don't know what or how you must be feeling right now,however I do understand. My step mom has been cancer free for almost 2 yrs and just in the last month she has been very sick. Right now we are waiting to here the results from her ultrasound to see if the cancer spread to her liver.

My thoughts are with you

No, but my thoughts and prayers are with you. It's a long, tough fight, but you're the kind of person who can make it through with shining colors.

If you need an ear, I'm a pretty good listener, so throw a pm my way if the urge arises. And know that you are definitely in my prayers, and that you are in the prayers of many.

Sorry to hear this.

I haven't had bladder cancer, but have had another type of cancer and can understand a bit about the type of feelings involved. If you'd like someone to talk to I'm always here. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you.

Think positive!

Sorry man, that sucks...keep the faith.

It was caught very early. The symtems were just like UTI but I was told 6 weeks of direct treatments should correct it. They inject some tuberculin solution into the bladder which attaches to the cancer cells and the immune system supposedly cures it. The treatment involves a cathoder which isn't very pleasant but it beats the alternative.

Best wishes on your treatment. Glad it was caught early too! Hope the prognosis is good!
I've not dealt with it, but let me ask this: Do you "feel" bladder cancer? What would be symptoms and what prompted the examination for it?<--Edit: Saw your previous post...asked/answered.

Same as urinary tract infection. Urgency to urinate, burning and passing matter whilst urinating, often blood although I never saw any, that was my dad's symptom and he had tumors when he started passing blood in the urine.

Dude - my prayers go out to the Almighty for you. Eat lots of garlic, broccolli, tomatoes, and use olive oil and THINK POSITIVE.

[CanuckInUSA 0]

Wow ... this sucks dude. My father is dealing with throat cancer right now, but it's hard to relate to when you are not the patient. Take it easy ... and know that people do care ...

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

man..that sucks... I am really glad you found out early. my wishes are with ya. I havent dealt with bladder cancer, but I have had a handfull of family members with breast cancer.. none the less its all hard to deal with. sounds like you have a handle on things and will be 110% before you know it..

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!

The word "cancer" is a tough word to hear..it's scarey. There are so many unknowns attached to it and there are so many images and thoughts that go through your mind. Just know that we are all here for you for love and support...and that we are praying for divine intervention and a positive outcome.
Here are >>HUGS<< of comfort!
Love ya!

Well Conway, I am glad that it was caught early on. Can we all assume the prognosis your doctor is positive? I think so, based on the treatment ordered, but, be positive at all times.

Prayers and best wishes.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I am a very possitive person. I think the Lord is on my side on this one. He hasn't let me die yet under my my Xaos 79!

My uncle had it.

had treatment.

it went away.

he's fine now.

take a deep breath and take one day at a time.

Tough to handle so I'm sending you lots of vibes and will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. Just recently having a family member diagnosed with breast cancer in it's very early stages, her prognosis looks good. I'm glad yours was diagnosed early and you can now treat it and win the battle.

Not bladder cancer, but did have one kidney removed a little over 4 years ago. Check ups have been clean so far. Hang in there and know you are not in this alone. As has been said before, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
