What were your symptoms before getting diagnosed with bladder cancer?

I am somewhat confused right now.
I had the CT scan done a couple weeks ago and they spotted a growth on my bladder. Suggesting it might be cancer. I thought it was on the outside of the bladder. But I may be wrong on this
If they do the scope from the inside how can they tell if cancer if the lesion is on the outside of the bladder.

Not seeing the doctor until they do the biopsy. Maybe I should call him now.

I had blood in urine on a yearly physical. CT scan revealed something in my bladder. Next met with Urologist. She did scope into my bladder and found tumor on upper wall. Next step was TURBT surgery to remove tumor. Had a second surgery to make sure cancer margins were clear. Both surgeries I had chemo in post op for one hr while waking up.
Started BCG immune therepy for 6 sessions and then a three session BCG weekly.
I go to urologist next week for check in my bladder to see if cancer is gone.
This is not fun but all doable
Next steps will depend on results. This is a highly reoccurring cancer but some very good options to live on Good luck
