Hi. I've just been diagnosed with bladder cancer. Aggressive and invasive. 51 yrs old. I have a new Urologist that found a dark spot on my bladder while I was in the hospital. (So much for my Urologist of 4 yrs) Long story short, I've been referred to another Urologist in the same practice that I meet with Monday. The Urologist that referred me said that it was best for me to have my bladder removed. I'm still in shock with cancer, let alone trying to function in life without a bladder.
