I’m so sorry 😞. Things get missed unfortunately sometimes.
Welcome @azrajo, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I know how difficult it must be for you trying to understand why no one picked up on the cancer following the infusions for anemia and the hip replacement. You mentioned he had bladder cancer but were told that was not the cause. The American Cancer Society mentions that cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body. For instance, cancer cells in the bladder can travel to the bone and grow there. -- If You Have Bladder Cancer: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/bladder-cancer/if-you-have-bladder-cancer.html.
How are you doing? Do you have family or children around for support?
