Your husband is very lucky for how fast everything has gone for him. I waited 3 weeks for my pathology results. For me everything started Oct. 27th and I had TURBT surgery on December 20th, then pathology results on January 9th. I received a surgery date on January 30th, for February 19th. The tumor has grown outside my bladder wall within a month but thankfully hasn't spread to other organs as of yet. I have only seen the oncologist once on January 29th but I am not interested in waiting to remove my bladder for chemo or radiation as I said before that even the urologist says I need it out first and then immunotherapy afterwards. I spoke on the phone with the surgeon's assistant for about 10 minutes and he seemed very focused on just giving me the surgury to leave me with a pee bag even though I am very adamant I want a neobladder if my urethra tubes are not affected. Basically I will see what I have after I wake up from surgery but I am sad to think they just prefer the easier way for them.

Many surgeons do not even perform neobladder surgeries. The surgery is very complex so you'll want to seek out the best in your area, if you're interested in it.
