Anyone have small cell bladder cancer?
Bladder Cancer | Last Active: Oct 26 7:48pm | Replies (59)Comment receiving replies
Has anyone had brain radiation as part of their treatment? After a radical cystectomy in January my dad had four rounds of chemo, two EP and two MVAC. Dr now wants him to do brain radiation. I am concerned about the possible side effects and whether or not the risks outweigh the potential benefits. He lives alone. Diagnosis is muscle invasive small cell cancer of the bladder, Which was found in one of 18 lymph nodes

@tattrigoo, does your dad have metastases to the brain? You are wise to weigh the benefits versus the possible side effects. What side effects and benefits did they explain to you? Will it be whole brain radiation?
@samasama, how did the treatment with Ipilimumab go on Friday?

Hi, my husband has 33 bladder radiation, no brain radiation.
It’s no medical guideline.
He had Nivolumab for 3 times and Friday he will start with Ipilimumab
Next scan beginning of July.
I‘m scared
