@colleenyoung Thank you for asking. The TURBT went well. My husband had the Foley catheter for a couple of days…then the Urologist took it out. But, the pathology report came back 2 days later and the Urologist said that it is definitely Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer…Stage 2. pT2. We are seeing the Urologist tomorrow to talk about the plan and on Friday…we see the oncologist. They are all part of the same team at Yale. The Urologist said that with MIBC …. Chemo first…then RC . It’s High grade …with large cells lymphathaphy invasion. Sounds so horrible. It’s in the muscle wall and he said that it is not metastatic. My poor husband fainted when he told him it was in the muscle. It was a big shock to him. I think he was in denial this whole time. Had to push him to get checked out. He hardly ever went to the doctor.
Hopefully, he will do well with the new drugs and combinations they have today. I’ve been researching everything since he found blood in his urine. He’s still going to try to work at his desk job during chemo…but I have no idea if he’ll be able to. He’s all ready to get the RC …and maybe a neobladder if he is able to. I know it is a fast moving type that Dwight has and I hope it hasn’t spread. I just want to get started with everything asap.
If you could pray for him, Colleen…that would be a big comfort to me. Prayer is very powerful. Rose xx
