Hi. I was just diagnosed with bladder cancer. Age 51. Invasive. Aggressive. Have been told, that the best thing is to have my bladder removed. Still in shock. I got the news 10 days ago. Still in the trying not to feel sorry for myself stage. Anyone else?

Hi @suka1 I am so sorry you've been diagnosed with aggressive BC. It's terribly shocking to hear the words bladder removal. Please go get a second opinion with a big hospital in your area. Not sure stage of your diagnosis or where you were diagnosed at? Urologist or big cancer hospital? But I would definitely seek a second opinion as soon as possible.

Hi. I too am 51 and have invasive, aggressive bladder cancer. Only found out I had 4 tumors at the end of October and on December 20th had surgery to remove them. All were removed except for all of the 1 that was 7cm in size which was also growing into my bladder wall. I was told from the urologist that part or all of my bladder will need to be removed along with chemotherapy. Now I just wait for the pathology results. 🤷‍♀️ I see that your comment was posted earlier this year, can I please ask what has happened since your post?
