Hi. New here (F 62). I saw your post and had to respond since I am in the same boat. Trying to learn more about secondary andenocarcinoma to the bladder.

History:
In 2018, I was diagnosed colon andenocarcinoma. The cancer attacked my bladder and I ended up with a partial cystectomy. In 2020, I had a recurrence of the cancer and it, once again , attacked my bladder (about 2cm was removed) plus my left ovary. In early July (2022) , my 6-moths CT scan showed a mass, but the biopsy said it was scar tissue from the previous surgeries. In late July (2022), during my annual cystoscopy, my urologist spotted a small red spot (0.5cm) and some unusual bumpy spots on the surgical scar left from the partial in 2018. He ordered a biopsy (in August) and it turns out both samples are the original colon andenocarcinoma. So it has metastasized to the bladder. After the biopsy I had a CT scan which shows the cancer sitting on the bladder dome, just like it did in my first and second round, but this time it is also reaching out to the peritoneum.

What's happening now:
My urologist took the biopsy and CT data, plus my cancer history to the Tumor Board for recommendations. The board recommended chemo first and then surgery. I have a MRI and CT-PET scheduled for next week. The following week, I have an appointment to discuss treatment with my oncologist. I plan on getting at least 1 more opinion. I feel great so I think it was caught pretty early.

I am a cancer patient at the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson, Arizona.
