Hi: I am new to this group, just found it and registered. I too have been diagnosed with bladder cancer that invaded the muscle tissue. It was a long road but on Nov 11, 2021 I met with a urologist who went into my bladder and scraped it out. Then I met with a surgeon and had my bladder & prostate removed on April 11. Thank God there were no complications. 6 days in the hospital and I was home. Not 1 pain. Took some time to get my head on straight but with the help of a psychiatrist who prescribed some medication, I am ok now. Good luck in the future.
