Experiences with

Bladder cancer

I had Bladder Cancer 5 years ago which is in remission but started again so started with two 6 week courses and 3 week course of BCG. Then Cyctoscopy and all clear but another 3 week BCG course to be on the safe side which has gone to 6mnthly.

But they finally agreed it was either bladder cancer or rectal cancer, which by the way, was probably caused by the 37 doses of radiation after RP."

CLL since 2012 ( Ibrutinib 5 years , Gayzva 6 months , Acalabrutinib 2 years ) now bladder cancer , high grade , no wall penetration .... advised to take BCG for 6 weeks every 3 months for a year ... anyone shed light on what I can physically expect from the BCG ?

I’m curious as to whether any of you PCa veterans have later found bladder cancer or kidney problems. I’m wondering if hormone therapy messed up my kidneys and is related to bladder cancer. I’m also wondering what you do about stenosis. I’m reading about laminectomy.

How comm is radiation treatments end up causing bladder cancer? Anybody here has had experience with bladder cancer (caused by radiation treatments)? Pease share your experience or point to where to research this issue? Also, recommendation for bladder cancer specialists in Southern California.

Appointment with a urologist specializing in bladder cancer is set for February 2nd, cystoscopy will probably not work due to stricture but hoping for a CXBladder test. First consultation may only result in scheduling tests and probably not much else. Thanks, AKSI

In the meantime I saw one privately who didn't seem concerned about bladder cancer (I pushed him on this). I mentioned a cystoscopy and he has agreed to do one this Friday. I am also suffering night sweats which isn't helping.

UPDATE: The biopsy indicates it's not PC, it's bladder cancer caused by the 37 radiation treatments I had.

My first treatment is going to be Cisplatin and Gem-something for bladder cancer caused by radiation for PC. I know all the side effects but can’t find how long until resistance happens and they stop working. Anyone know? Thanks

Hello, I'm a breast cancer survivor and have had NETs in stomach removed, bladder cancer (low grade) removed, and RP w/ gleason 9. Currently on chemo (Taxotere) and Lupron. PSA post RP was 63 now at .03. UI is a battle and low energy. Hope to learn here. MC

After a few days of thinking "well, at least it wasn't the bladder cancer my dad had", a cystoscopy showed that yes, I also had bladder cancer. The bladder cancer was removed surgically via a TURBT procedure (no incision, they go in through what is normal an "exit only" and remove the tumor).

I see this used for bladder cancer. Can anyone give me some direction what to research and make any sense of this. His wife died, a very good friend 3 years ago. I would like to be a stand in, in some way to give him some support and an advocate, but i need to understand this better.

The Guardian newspaper is calling for other bladder cancer stories after Tracy Emin has revealed hers. Read the article and take part with the link below. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/oct/29/share-your-experiences-of-bladder-cancer?

As I have read, it is a test to diagnose the stage of bladder cancer or to eliminate T1 and T2 bladder cancer. My father has been bleeding for about a month and I do not know if the nodules in the lung are related.

What do you think? Omega-3 Poison for Cancer Tumors Thanks to the support of the Fondation Louvain, the Belgian Cancer Foundation, and the Télévie telethon, the team quickly identified that these acidotic tumor cells responded in diametrically opposite ways depending on the fatty acid they were absorbing

So..my UroOnc wants to pursue cryoablation after my failed radiotherapy (EBRT/LDR Brachytherapy ). I don't know yet if I can have focal only cryo or have to have whole prostate ablation. I know the ED outcome is bad, but has anyone else had this treatment and how are you doing afterward? Any other
