I am a 73 YO male. In mid Dec I started peeing brown blood and a few days later it turned red. Went to the ER and the CT scan showed growths on my bladder. Last week I had the growths removed during the biopsy procedure. My follow up with the urologist is in a couple days. So we shall see what he plans for recovery. Some of what I read was not very encouraging.
I just got my pathology report. some I understood some I did not.
Recap
A 2.5cm tumor was taken out for pathology. This tumor and 2 smaller ones were removed and area cauterized.
Extensive high grad papillary urothelial carcinoma. OK high grade (not good) cancer.
With Foci of Lamina propria invasion. The cancer cells were detected in next level tissue.
Definitive angiolymphatic invasion is identified. Not sure but sounds like cancer cells in blood and lymph nodes.
Small microscopic focus of muscularis properia not involved in the tumor. I think muscle layer does not have cancer cells
