Positive For High-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma on Urine Test

Sorry to hear about your husband. I also probably waited too long to go to the hospital, I am 51 and just thought the on and off bleeding was just perimenopause symptoms. I finally went to the hospital where my blood nitrite level was high so I had a CT scan immediately where there were tumors seen in my bladder. Turns out I had 4 tumors, had TURBT surgery on December 20th where 3 were removed but 1 remains which is mussel invasive so that is a problem. Finally received the Pathology results, High-grade urothelial carcinoma with extensive necrosis and squamous differentiation. Just had another CT scan on the 9th and luckily the tumor has not spread past my bladder wall. I am finally getting tests and see a medical oncologist next Wednesday. I do know that the radical cystectomy will be done in Vancouver, but until I speak with the oncologist that is all I know so far. Hope all is well for your husband and for you ❤️🫂

Thank you. I am glad to hear that the tumor has not spread through the muscle wall. My husband will also have a radical cystectomy. He just got a call from his doctor and from what I can understand, the CT Scan showed a mass on his bladder wall. He is going on February 3rd for a cystoscopy. I do wish I could have spoken to the doctor, also. I’m going to call back the urologist’s office to get him in sooner. I think you’re smart to have a radical cystectomy because it seems to always come back unless you get it all taken out and can live a good life again without the worry. Prayers and thoughts going your way:-)))
