Anyone with colon cancer metastasis to ureter and/or bladder?

Posted by suzyq2009 @suzyq2009, Aug 8, 2022

I have colon cancer that metastasized to the outside of my left ureter, and later through the wall to the inside, and was stable for a long time. Then the tumor began to grow, so I had my left ureter and kidney removed in January, 2021 to try to keep the cancer from reaching my bladder. Four months after the surgery, I had a metastatic tumor inside my bladder. When I've tried to research this, I've found little information, which makes me think this is very rare.

tspitzley63 I certainly agree that you need a highly specialized team to assess what can be done to help you to live with this cancer. It's not always about cure, but some of us live with our cancer for many years. You need another opinion to know that you have explored all options in this battle. Good luck to you.

Thanks Sue... It's so hard sometimes to navigate all the things that come with this journey! I am limited by insurance on where I can go for second opinions, but I agree I need to explore most options.

@tspitzley63, if you would like to request a second opinion at one of the Mayo Clinic locations, here is where to get started: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

How are you doing?
