my nana is 66 and has had bladder caner a couple of times. Recently she has had really bad bleeding in her urine, she went to hospital last week and they found two patches on her bladder which they scrapped out. The bleeding then stoped but yesterday started again. She is back at the doctors 2moro but i am worryed to know what it is as i thought it would have been the end of it last time she was in hospital any ideas anyone thanks sacha
the two patches have been sent away and shes waiting on the results. Previously they have found tumors but there were no lumps this time and if the patches were the starts of tumors i am assuming rumoving them would have solved the problem
sacha........Bladder cancer is one of the most difficult of cancers to treat.....in my opinion.
If the biopsies do show a recurrence, then the treatment will depend upon whereabouts in the bladder the "patches" are situated. They may well be able to treat them with diathermy, but if not other methods will have to be considered.
shes had keemo theropy the first time bcg treatment the second. She probebly will have 2 have the bcg again. I think shes not telling all there is to be told to save worrying people thanks squad
