Welcome to the Bladder Cancer support group on Mayo Clinic Connect.

Pull up a chair. Let’s start with introductions.

What type of bladder cancer were you diagnosed with? What treatments have you had? How are you doing?

Hi. My name is Ron. I was diagnosed with invasive, high grade, cancer in my right utterer 9 months ago. It became high grade bladder cancer before I could have it removed. I have had Turbt surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible. After that, I had 4 rounds of chemo in preparation for a radical cystectomy. That is scheduled for May 8th.

Luckily, the original cancer was found totally by accident. So, I’m hoping to be cancer free after my surgery. I plan on having an ileal conduit with a stoma.

Hi Colleen!
I don't want to jinx anything since my first 3 treatments went great, no side effects at all. Hopefully the coming 3 will be the same and something tells me they will.
Thanks for asking!
