Bladder Cancer Treatment Guide for Patients.

I have created a flow chart for bladder cancer patients.  It can pretty much be used at any time from initial concern about the potential of having bladder cancer through various stages of treatment.

 My hope is that people will find this useful.  Rather than posting it everywhere and having to try to maintain version control on a number of sites, I am putting the link to ABLCS forum where I originally posted it.

I am not a doctor but I do have a good bit of experience as a bladder cancer patient.  This guide has been reviewed by a number of other bladder cancer survivors as well.

fathers long journey

Ok, They were very surprised to find path results come back that the muscle was clear, although they said they are extremly suspect that there may still be muscle involvment expecilly as it is in the ureta,
options given were
1. chemo & bcg. They said(the cancer could still progess whilst on chemo) & (it wont work if there is muscle involvement)
2. surgery rc ileal conduit or neo bladder
So dad has chosen to go ahead with surgery,(ileal conduit) which should take place in the next 2-4 weeks at a hospital thats about 3 hours from home.
So we are hoping that every thing goes well.

aggressive grade 4,

Hello Everyone,

My husband Jack was diagnosed with grade 4 bladder cancer 3 weeks ago. CAT & bone scan have

Thank you to all who have shared your experiences!
This whole situation is so new to us (still trying to dicipher all the abbreviations & terms etc.)
If anyone would care to share advise, I would be very glad to hear from you.

Thank you & keep up your spirits,
Ninnette
