I was just diagnosed with bladder cancer. Went to the ER very sick last week, an abdominal CT showed bladder thickening. The follow-up cystoscopy yesterday showed a growth in the bladder near a urethra. I'll have surgery in a few weeks to remove as much of the growth as possible and then the bladder will be flooded with a chemo drug. The growth will be sent out for a biopsy and this will determine future actions, if any, needed. Urologist said he didn't think (but, of course, couldn't absolutely know) that it looked like an in-situ tumor. Kind of numb at this time.
